Why writer Marsha Lederman, daughter of Holocaust survivors, feels 'less alone' on Yom HaShoah

JL;DR SUMMARY Marsha Lederman shares her experience as the daughter of Holocaust survivors, highlighting how Yom HaShoah offers a unique sense of community and solidarity amidst her lifelong concern for potential catastrophe.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
