To Rabbi Yaakov Saloman, As a Jewish woman, your videos have deeply moved me and have put a deeper faith in my heart for the return of our Jewish messiah. G-D bless you!

remembering...
Dear Rabbi Salomon: This e-mail recaps the incredible opportunity I had to be on the March of the Living as nurse-chaperone in 1994. We were in each spot and inside the Yeshiva, where we could see where the mezuzot had been on each doorway. Thank you for this re-journey.

Thank you for reflections
Thank you. I will never forget these videos. I hope and pray that all, Jew and Christian alike will never forget. We can never allow this to happen again. Hitler killed Jews because he knew they would never relinquish their G-d. This last attack against Israel proves that there are those inspired by the same kind of hate would bring that same kind of Holocaust to Israel. The sympathy the world press had shown those that attacked Israel was shocking and proves that evil hatred isstill so widespread that it COULD happen again. I pray that Jew and Christian alike unite in our resolve to fight this evil. May G-d bless Israel and you Rabbi for you wonderful work.

Informative, uplifting and forever hopeful.
Years ago I too, went to Poland. I cried and cried and left with a feeling of despair because I was hoping to find answers and found none. Oh to meet the Mesheach.

My Eigth Grade Chumash teacher survived the camps. She told how a group of Bais Yaakov students cried, devastated at the liberation that they were saved by the Americans and not, unfortunately, by Mashiach.

I look at the short film, and it is good for some one who was their at the time. I lived this time on the 40th and I forgive and forget since. At the time we where under terror and never know what would be tomorow, we hve lot of people who diseapared, they where christian just like me. Now with the terorisme, we are again in the same terror as the 40;'s and up.
