About 80 Holocaust survivors, residents of the Yad Ezer Association's hot house for a friend, immigrated to Jerusalem to the home of President Reuven (Rubi) Rivlin. The hospitality was both warm and exciting.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a memorial day for the memory of the Holocaust noted on January 27. This date was chosen because it is the day the Auschwitz death camp was liberated by the Red Army. Since then, this date has been used by several countries, including Germany and Great Britain, as Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The words of the President of the State, Robbie Ravlin:
"We are obligated to ensure that the Holocaust survivors living among us live and will live well. This is nothing but our moral duty as a state and a people. The window of opportunity that can guarantee the generation of survivors the necessary well-being is closing.
Those who lived at the bottom of the bottom and managed to establish a home here in Israel in order to hold on to life, it is our duty to guarantee them a peaceful and calm life wherever they may be.
We here in this country owe the survivors these moments that will be without a shortage. The nation of Israel is alive and the survivors are undoubtedly one of the reasons for this.
I give you my thanks and the thanks of the people of Israel. I wish you long and healthy years in which we will be able to say time and time again "that we lived and reached and brought us to this time".
At the end of the president's words, Shimon Sebag, CEO of the Yad Ezer association, presented a friend with a gift - a painting by Mania Herman, a resident of the association's hot house.
Shimon Sebag, CEO of the association, said: "There is no better proof for the survivors that the people of Israel are alive when the president hosts them here with the honor of kings.
If we had a country in World War II, it is clear that there was no Holocaust, now it is our goal to strengthen the country so that those who rise to destroy us will not succeed and will not think about it at all."
Shimon Sebag thanked the president for the invitation, the president welcomed the activity of the association and the hot house in Haifa.
"This is sacred volunteering," he told the survivors, after which the president stood with the survivors, talked and took pictures with them.
