We, as children of Holocaust survivors, are obligated to take a proactive role in these difficult times. We must not forget that the world failed to cry out while Hitler perpetrated his evil acts.  We will not let this happen again.  As the first action of this new group for children of survivors of the Holocaust in the greater Los Angeles area, we ask you to act immediately on the issue of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers:  Gilad Shalit, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.  The International Committee of the Red Cross must be pressured to fulfill its own mandate and compel the captors to allow the Red Cross access to the soldiers and to allow them contact with their families...as they have done for other prisoners of war in other conflicts.

 

 

The thought of these Jewish soldiers in the hands of these terrorists is beyond comprehension.  The horrifying anxiety their loved ones must be living with is unimaginable as was the horror forced on our family members in Hitler's camps.  

 

Please add your name to the following letter and forward it to the Red Cross by email or fax.  You can also call any of the phone numbers with your message.  We must let them hear our voices as they have not been heard before.  Let the world know that we will not stand by silently -- again.
