On this Yom Hashoah, as we honor the memory of the martyrs of our people, we recall that for many of us, the horror was not an event of the receding past . We recall those of our close family that were lost to us before we could even know them. I have posted my grandmother, Helena Iger Gottdenker, shot in the sand hills outside Lwow, and my uncle, Karol Gottdenker, discovered by the Nazis in the last days of the war in Buczacz, and summarily executed. May their memories be for a blessing.
