Great done! We will never forget indeed, but today there is no difference! In spite of! So it does not help to think about the dead. We must change our negative thoughts, our negative behaviour, our negative words we are using. Change all to positive! It's work, very hard work but The Solution for Peace! Forgive first yourself and others and live in the great Light! That means: Lost of EGO! Ego makes war, makes problems makes everything negative. There is a big difference by human love or God love! The last don't know nothing about human love at all! It's just one great love, again: no ego!!! I am happy you use art too for creating more peace! Thank you!

Artist Reply: Dear Annette thanks so much for your thoughts and comments...I'm not saying that to think of the dead people is the solution ,but to me personally and to many others,this Holocaust day has alot of significances.And of course it has nothing to do with ego also...This is a small reminder, perhaps also as act of respect to the innocent victims ...or to us all,or at least to those who wish to remember those horrible events .To acknowledge the fact,that those events occurs and with true hopes that such thing may never again will happen anywhere in the world against no religion or race......With the understanding that we ALL People of the world, has the right to live peacefully .Its like a SAYING...It was most horrible war ever happen in history...May we never know any kind of war or terror ,or any kind of violent act anywhere on this planet...Unfortunately the Nazis movement exist in some parts of the world and getting more powers also,and you even can see it here in AW. Annette ,like yourself I am a great believer of positive thinking...but as i'm sure you know ,not ALL people think this way...so how will you convince others in positive thinking...you can try do so with few of your close friends.I wish the whole world will think positively and make a world of peace...Is that reality nowadays...?...I wish...and i can pray in positive thinking...it might help a bit :-)...Personally,I have no anger against myself or rancor to no one...I can be example to my kids or few of my friends ,only if they wish to follow my steps...So...me and you will pray for peace...for a world being a better place to live in...and may more people will think positively this way...Love and peace for GREAT LIGHT,Nira

Fabulous representation of the horror and evil of a time we will never forget. The holocaust is such an alarming example of human cruelty that it is overwhelming. Unfortunately, we have not learned from the past as the terror continues on a massive scale with the wars in Iraq and in other regions of the world. The tragedy of the students who died at Virginia Tech University underscores the need to remind us of the futility of violence and war. Your painting is a powerful statement to send the world a message that the insanity must stop!!

Artist Reply: Yes...Julie...you are right...the insanity of wars and terror must stop...We had a reminder of a terrible tragedy at the WT University, just 2-3 days ago ,which reminded me of another terror attack , by suicide bomber we had here in July,31 2002..at the student's cafeteria in the Hebrew university in Jerusalem...in which many died and many others wounded.As a non- political person,I can only pray and wish for a better world...and try to believe and think positively that the world can be a better place...Thanks so much for your comments...enjoy your day! Nira

Hi again Nira.. Just a side note to Holocaust survivors. Have you heard about the shootings at Virginia Tech University, 32 killed and 12 wounded by one crazy gunman. One of the worst atrocities at a school in the US ever. Well I have a story for you ... One of the professors in one of the classrooms was a Holocaust survivor, he lived to live again here in the US. He became a professor and ended up teaching at VT on the day this happened. This professor held and bared the door with his body while the gunman fired many shots through the door, eventually killing the elderly professor. The professor, was last seen by the last student to make it out the window, while the professor was holding the gunman off at the door. Because of this professor, 30 of his students, lived to live again. I thank God for survivors of the Holocaust. This event happened on the very day of comemoration of the Holocaust Suvivors, 59,999 now ... I think it is an amazing thing this man did. Truly heroic, if anything positive can come from this tragic event, would be that this man laid down his life for 30 of his students... ...jeff...

Artist Reply: Hi again,Jeff and YES,we heard about this so sorrowful tragic event on the news and in newspapers.Such event can't be captured by any normal logic.It is so symbolic that this occurs particularly on the very day of commemoration of the Holocaust Suvivors ....Yet so saddening...It's not the first time that I hear about holocaust survivor that survived the holocaust but could not escape another tragic event in his/her life...This professor at VT university definitely had the outstanding resourcefulness ... I think its kind of a miracle that he manage to save his students......He was a hero...and this brave act of his, show his love and his value to people's life. Again ,Jeff thanks so much for sharing ALL of us here in AW With this piece of information...I think its more then important people of the world know.All the very best,Nira
Artist Reply: May the memory of Professor Liviu Librescuo will be blessed...May he rest in peace...

Artist Reply: thanks so very much for your comments dear Philip,i'm not at all that courageous...those people who had to live through that terrible era and through those horroble events ,that were part of their everyday reality, were the courageous ones.Those soldiers who came to stop the killing machine of NAZIS were the brave ones.... my work was just a small duty for me to do,as a reminder......have a splendid day,Nira

Lili Segal 16 Apr 2007

Many thanks, Dear Nira, for sharing your great work of art with all AW members. The importance of memory grows as the phenomenon of Holocaust denial is rising, and as Holocaust survivors pass away. Let us hope that the world will never forget and will not let horrors like that to happen again...

Jeff Richardson 16 Apr 2007

Nira, I have seen many photos like this one. My Father who was a soldier in WWII was among the first to liberate these camps. The site was terrible, thank goodness they had a camera to document the reality. The photos were sent to a museum in New York that specializes in war crimes aginst Jewish prisoners of WWII. Your picture brings back the shocking reality of it all. I am one who will never forget, Thanks for the posting Nira ... Jeff Richardson

Artist Reply: Hi there dear Jeff and thanks so very much for taking your time to visit my portfolio,view and comment.I thank your father and many such as himself, that had the courage to fight in that horrible WWII.Photos like this and other are so important to show young generations what happened then.In Israel especially in Holocaust day (not sure about other countries ) every year, All people are exposed in all ways that are possible to photos ,films ,movies...memorial ceremonies talks...documents to stories ...sometimes personal stories...Although I'm sure no photo nor any document could have showed the terrible sites ,which were part of the reality of WWII.That reality of WWII,That can't be understoodable to any normal logic.I thank soldiers those who took those photos also.... knowing that the Nazis themselves made documents of their crimes with great "pride"......Still there are about 60,000 holocaust living survives...For the next generations also photos like this are so important...so difficult to watch...With a prayer in my heart that such things will never happen nowhere around the world against any religion or race........Have a wonderful day,Jeff...I hope you are well...
