My friend, in Judaism we are commanded to ‘remember’.  Remembrance is a major focus of who we are and how we recall where we came from.  Today is the day in 1945 that Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army from the Nazis.  When I took part in March of the Living and visited Auschwitz, I found one could still feel the echos of pain and agony.  At that time I was working at the LA Jewish Home and I had told the member of the Shoah Survivor’s group I was going on the March and would be at Auschwitz.   They made a request of me, they told me they understood one of the barracks had been converted into a museum?  Could I find the museum and on the door, I would find a mezuzah.  They asked me to kiss that holy item in a most unholy place for them.  And I did.  The picture is below.
