Hi all
Here in South Africa a Transistria Leah Stermer actually lit a candle in
our official national Yom Hashoa ceremony in memory of all those who died
there. Due to the Corvid lockdown it had to be done digitally. Was pleased
to see the recognition. This move was led by the very forward thinking head
of our Holocaust and Genocide centre Tali Nats.
Kind regards
Michael Kransdorff
