This week, we mourn the loss of our dear friend, #Auschwitz survivor Moshe Ha-Elion, who passed away on November 1.

From @yadvashem: "Moshe has dedicated his life to supporting needy Holocaust survivors, commemorating Greek Jewry and fighting Holocaust denial. For 15 years, he was Chairman of the Association of Survivors of Concentration Camps of Greek Origin Living in Israel.

"He was a member of the International Auschwitz Committee, the Yad Vashem Directorate, and the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel. He is currently the acting Chair of the Centre of Organizations of Holocaust Survivors in Israel.

"Moshe wrote his autobiography and 3 books of poetry. He also set one of them, written in memory of his younger sister Nina, to music. Moshe shares his testimony in Hebrew, Greek, Ladino, French and English, and joins military and school delegations on their visits to Poland."

In January 2020, Moshe was among the Survivors who visited @AuschwitzMuseum with our Foundation's delegation to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation.

Moshe is survived by a son and daughter, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. May his memory be a blessing.
