Hemshech
Survivors establish living memorial fund
by Lola Lansky
What else can we as survivors do
that is meaningful? What does the
future hold for us, when after so
many years we still find ourselves
taced with those who contradict
and doubt the existence of the
Holocaust? The Nazi Party
membership is on the rise, our
members are becoming fewer.
These and other questions were
discussed at a recent general
meeting held by Hemshech-
Organization of Survivors.
This May 8 marks the 37th
anniversary of the end of World
War II. Israel’s existence is still
threatened and anti-Semitism is
on the rise. We were sure in our
lifetime we would not have to face
these problems again.
Somehow it does not seem
enough that in 1965 we erected a
Tombstone Monument in
Greenwood Cemetery for our
beloved perished families and the
martyred Six Million. For the
future generations we left a
physical reminder of the
Holocaust, evidence that indeed
survivors lived in this city.
We have volunteers speaking in
schools and anywhere else we are
asked to come. Our president Alex
Gross has very rarely refused a
request to speak.
We would also like to see a
permanent place, a museum or
exhibition hall, for our personal
artifacts, an audio-visual room for
lectures and education of the
Holocaust, but for this to become a
reality we need the understanding
and support from the rest of the
Atlanta Jewish community.
A vote was taken to encourage
each synagogue to have a
memorial plaque for our six
million brethren who perished.
We decided to concentrate on
what we can do ourselves. It was
voted by those present to establish
a fund, a “Hemshech Living
Memorial Fund,” of which the
principal would remain but the
accumulated interest would be
used for education, scholarships
and anything that has to do with
the lives and death of the Six
Million.
Survivors donating $1,000 or
more will be known as charter
members of the fund. To date 12
volunteers have agreed to he
charter members. Donors of less
than $1,000 will be known as
sponsors.
To encourage people to donate
funds it was decided that it can be
paid out in three annual payments.
We also encourage people to
include a “Living Memorial”
bequest in their wills so the fund’s
existence is secured for the future
In 1985, on the 40th anniversary
of our liberation from the death
camps and the end of World War II,
the lund will be officially
dedicated.
The public is invited to
participate. Anyone wishing to
memorialize any loved one can call
874-3540 or 261-1060.
