I end this journey with a thought:

Each person has a name, each person has the right that his name will be remembered, this is why we come on this journey, to be the voice of these who vanished, these who were murdered, we will remember them, they will speak loud through us and make the next generations remember.

This is why I want to publish this blog to all my friends, clients and to any human being, to be the voice of the silent 6 millions of our people who were murdered just for being Jews.

May their memory live forever with us !
