From Roberta Simon

I was born after World War II and most of my mother's family lost their lives in the Holocaust. I grew up with unsettling stories from my grandparents of how family members had lost their lives in either concentration camps or in their home villages.

Visiting Yad Vashem brought strong meaning and feeling to the stories I had heard. The reality of what happened is much stronger, more personal.
