As I lay awake one night, I knew I wanted this page to have a special title. Angel Links was the only one worth considering; because as you read about, or see some of these testimonies that I am just still beginning to prepare, you will see that these survivors, and those of the Jewish Faith as a whole, can only be called Angels.
As to the star and the cross: the Jewish star of David is known as the shield of David, and is therefore representative of the Jewish people. It has been almost universally adopted by them since the mid 19th-century.
So, in a sense, the star represents what God did as He began to bring a people together who would follow His Way, and belong just to Him (think of David, as a shepherd boy wholly dependent upon His God).
And where the Jewish star represents the foundational, and beginning work of mankind's walk of faith; the cross of Christianity represents the finished work of that Faith (Christ, in His full and complete Obedience), and of God's Love for all in mankind ‑who have chosen to follow the Creator in that Obedience. So the star represents the foundation. The cross is the Temple.
They are totally inseparable. The Foundation upholds the Temple. The Temple is the Cover for the Foundation. One can never exist without the other.
Having explained the reason for the graphic above; below is the beginning of just a very few of the hundreds of Shoah accounts I have listened to, or read about, over the years. Some of these presentations may not be suitable for childen under 9 or 10 years of age (I have a different thought on that, but will nevertheless place red borders and words of caution on all sites that others may not think suitable for children younger than that recommended age).
Lord knows, we never want to take away the innocence of our children at too young an age. Still, as my parents believed, and as I have always felt, children should be taught various Wisdoms at all ages of their lives so that life does not suddenly throw them a curve ball they do not know how to handle.
So, if nothing else, please: TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN! TALK TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN! From the time they are around two years of age occasionally, but very gently, tell them some of the horrible things that humans have experienced at the hands of one another since the beginning of life on this earth plane. One needn't drive it into them: simply make them aware.
Then, when they are around 6 years old, begin to tell them that mankind, without God, can be more cruel and destructive than the most vicious animal; but the God of their Creation can make them new each and every day, and Lead them in a better Way!
By teaching children in such a clear way, by the time they reach 9 or 10, and even on into their early teens, they will be more than ready to be introduced to some of the online Shoah accounts, ready to read books written by Shoah survivors, and they will be ready to see photographs, and visit holocaust museums. Remember: children's minds are sponges! Express Truth to them with simplicity and clarity, and they will understand!
We must always Love the children enough to be fully honest about the past accounts on this earth so that they can also have the Wisdom of the Ages, and therefore be a part of those who help insure that such as a Nazi occupation ‑or worse, can never happen again!
And we must go back to what has always been known: there is only one "Right" Way of Life. To do anything other than live this Right Way of Life offends the very God of our Creaton. Such Life brings heaven to earth; and the outline of how to live it is still found in the Torah, and in Holy Bible.
It is called: "The Ten Commandments".
Instead of the schools' yearly Spring booze parties or "Beach here I come" sex-capades, how about bus loads of our children (with responsible adults) going to Arlington (or a state veterans burial ground), a local Holocaust center in their state, or even a rehab center, where they can see one of our veteran's of today being fitted with prothesis? The Knowledge and sobering realization of how Precious our Freedom has always been certainly could do no harm!
Right now, our great land of America is too close to a facist (Nazi) rerun. So, think about it as you check out the links below; and with all my my heart I Thank You for visiting...

THE SHOAH FOUNDATION VISUAL HISTORY ARCHIVES You will please want to register here, and then you may peruse over 55,000 visual histories of the individuals who came to know what horror man can do to man. We need these shown to children starting at 9 or 10 so they may never forget how precious FREEDOM is, and what it costs.
