relatives who I never got to meet were murdered during the holocaust, at the very beginning. I will never forget any of it. Although admittedly sometimes it is all too much to think about for me. I feel like my father is one of them now, murdered during covid by this country. We just watched A Woman in Gold again recently, it is very moving for anyone who hasn't seen it. I showed it to students as well and they loved it. A friend also lost family in the holocaust and she never spoke of it much to her children as far as I recall because she did not want them to grow and live with that fear.
