My Bar Mitzvah was on Yom Hashoah, 27 years ago. We put photos of Wiklers killed in the Holocaust into the program. Today and every day, let's resolve to fight against anti-Semitism, genocide, and hate in all its forms—and celebrate those who resist. #NeverAgain 
The six million. The millions of others. The wounds, visible and invisible, in those who survived, and their progeny. We can never forget—and we must ensure no future generation can forget, lest history repeat.
On Yom Hashoah, we also celebrate the heroism and resilience of those who fought back. The uprisings, the unrecorded acts of resistance; all those who fought, in and out of uniform.
The Holocaust and WWII scattered the surviving Wiklers & relatives. Two brothers, Henry and Max, escaped to different countries. They met, wearing UK and US uniforms. Henry's son Mike attended my Bar Mitzvah.
