Holocaust Survivors Celebrate Family Legacies on Remembrance Day
In honor of Holocaust Remembrance and Heroism Day, three Holocaust survivors shared their stories of survival and the legacies they have built. Yoske Hershkovitz, Rina Czaczeks Axelbrad, and Hannah Yachin, all in their 90s, have established large families as a testament to their resilience. Hershkovitz, who survived Auschwitz, has a family of three daughters, ten grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren. Axelbrad, who lost her father during the war, has seven children, 22 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Yachin, who helped save Jews during the war, is proud of her family's achievements. These survivors view their families as victories over the darkness of the Holocaust.
