June 8 – A Very Special Day

June 8, 1949 – My parents were married

June 8, 2022

Yad Vashem – The World Holocaust Remembrance Centre has issued an Invitation to celebrate my Paternal Grandparents

Translated: Presentation of the award Righteous Among the Nations

Translation is below:

Alex and I really wanted to be there for this monuments event but alas, Covid-19, uncertainty of war in Europe and my theatre commitments prevented us from going. I was advised by my cousin that they will be streaming the ceremony. Once I get that, I will post it on my site.

So, this days fills me with pride and a touch of sadness. I am so proud of my grandparents for doing what was right and just. I am sad that my parents aren’t around to see this.
