Description of Jewish life and the faith of those surviving throughout Russia and Uzbekistan during those six arduous years of war. For Polish Jews, Soviet Russia and Central Asia, a hard exile, proved to be the best chance for escaping the fire that engulfed Europe. My mother survived against all ads and in the midst of all this tragedy she even experienced love. At the end of the war survivors returned home to Poland to find one vast cemetery and the trauma continued. Polish Jewish citizens and the new families they went on to create lived in the shadows of the Holocaust aftermath. They made a new life under a new kind of rule, the oppressive communist regime. It was not until we left Poland in the late 1960s that my path crossed with Professor Elie Wiesel, at CCNY.
It was at that time that I started to understand my mother’s history and the stories I grew up on.
To be a “Memorial Candle” is to give a voice to those whose voices were silenced, to make sure this history stays relevant, connected to the present.
