5. real heroes of Auschwitz, of all those who suffered in Shoa

they made a shofar in secret in auschwitz in the midst of the shoa.
they hid the shofar at great peril to their lives.
they did so knowing full well that if caught, they would be tortured
and ultimately killed.
they blew the shofar for kiddush hashem during rosh hashana
thereby defying the nazi beast.
they smuggled out the shofar from auschwitz at the end of the
war that eliminated six million jews, including one and a half
million jewish children.
today, this shofar is being kept in a reborn jewish state as a
reminder of incredible jewish heroism and defiance.
many more were those who resisted the nazis and their vicious
collaborators but whose very existence and and memory have
been effaced. but the sovereign jewish state is eternal.
prayers for the peace of jerusalem.
