Forgetting the Holocaust
For part of my childhood I lived in a neighborhood with Holocaust survivors. In an upstate New York of fields and forests for me to explore and peace. Barely a dozen years after World War II. I was a child and did not know what “holocaust” meant. But I felt the fierce attachment to family of the people around me. To what they had left of family.
Now I am an adult and find that I live in a world where memory of the Holocaust is being forgotten or distorted by lies. We all are not Holocaust survivors but we all are family. We have to remember.
So I wrote a novel - Parade of Silence - to protest forgetting and as a call to remember the truth. I know it is not as good a book as those written by Holocaust survivors. But it’s the best I can do to speak out against forgetting.
The e-book is available free on Amazon August 12-16 (click the cover image to access) and will be available in paperback a few weeks later. If you choose to read the story, perhaps you would pass it on.
