]]> During the 1930s and 40s, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered six million Jews. Hitler’s intention was to destroy all Jewish communities, and to build a ‘master race’ of Aryans. Many other ‘non-aryans’ were persecuted including Romanies, homosexuals, and the disabled, as well as those who were politically opposed to the Nazis. This terrible moment in history is now known as the Holocaust. It remains one of the most horrific examples in recent European history of indifference, inhumanity, prejudice and genocide.

]]> Esther says the first time she remembers crying was when she cried about the Holocaust and it suddenly made sense why she and her family were the way they were – that her mother used to cry a lot and how they were all anxious. They both talk about coming to terms with their Jewish identity. Leah describes dropping the British name her parents gave her and taking on a Jewish one instead. Esther says that she found this weird at the time and how it was only when she went to Israel that she became aware of being Jewish and felt comfortable with it, that growing up in a small town in Devon she’d just wanted to be normal and her aunt and mother had embarrassed her with their Jewishness. Leah talks about how Israel has never held the same importance for her.
