Today marks eighty years since the liberation of Auschwitz. Though the worldwide population of living Holocaust survivors is declining, there are hundreds of Holocaust survivors—now in their 80s, 90s, and 100s—living among us right here in Greater Boston. We honor them today as we remember the millions who perished in the Holocaust and the survivors who are no longer with us. Two survivors from our local community—Magda Bader and Tania Lefman—bravely shared their stories on this solemn anniversary, International Holocaust Remembrance Day. "While their personal memories bring tears, this day is a testament to their determination." The need for services to support Holocaust survivors is rapidly growing, and today JF&CS serves more survivors than ever before. They have experienced multiple traumas in recent years, explained JF&CS CEO Gail Schulman in an interview with WBZ / CBS TV: "First we had Covid, where you're told, 'You can't see people, you need to be in your home.' Then the war in Ukraine, where so many of them lived or had family. And now, antisemitism on the rise." We're grateful to the many supporters who donate their time and their financial resources to ensure that survivors who endured unimaginable atrocities are able to age with dignity in our community.

Fun to visit with Bernice Behar, the Director of Family Table (Jewish Family & Children's Service of Greater Boston) and Three Squares board member. The pantry is warm and inviting, and enhanced by this stunning art made for them by the New England Mosaic Society. Family Table is participating in the Ride For Food for the 11th year in a row and aims to raise more than $80,000 to provide food for people who live all across Eastern Massachusetts. Please support this committed team: https://lnkd.in/e8fSBcva
