The lighting of this candle is in memorium for all lives that the Holocaust touched. Also, it represents all my students, past and present, who have grown through teaching Holocaust literature and who represent our future. |

It will be an honor to light a candle in memory of all who perished at the hands of evil during the Holocaust. Keep hope alive for the future by never ever forgetting the past. Look for ways to tell others that we should not look away from the genocides and suffering taking place in this world today. Speak up for those who have no voice. Peace. |

I light this candle, for and on behalf of my late-father Edward Noel Grosvenor Shaw, who never forgot the horrific events of the holocast and human degradation suffered by the jewish people. As a WWII fighter pilot with the SADF, he was witness to the horror that befell the Jewish people and promised that should he survive the war he would do whatever he could to ease the suffering. He subsequently joined the UNRRA [immediately after the war] and during his term with the UNRRA, assisted with the repatriation of many jewish families. To this day, we his family, have never forgotten his contribution and remain proud of a very brave and exceptional man. I wish to light an additional candle in memory of all the lives lost during the Holocast and to pray that we now, and furture generations, never experience such horror again. |

This past summer, I had the chance to participate in the Belfer program at the museum. Those three days changed my life forever, and there is not a day that goes by where I do not think about what happened during the Holocaust. I will never forget. |

I light this candle in hope that its light and warmth will help enlighten an increasingly ambivilant world. We say never again and turn our backs on ethnic cleansing and other atrocities that continue on an on. May we all and always recongize our common humanity and recognize that we are all brothers and sisters. |

As a family who has been touched first-hand by the tragedy of the Holocaust, we remember my husband's grandparents and his cousin's husband, but spending time in silence and with a candle this day. We carry them with us always and honor them not only because they survived, but because they have learned to live. Each is kind and generous;happy and loving. God bless them and all the Jewish people who endured and continue to struggle. Shabbot Shalom |
