Hundreds Gather In Boston To Remember Holocaust
The gathering marked Yom HaShoah, the annual day set aside to remember those who died in the Holocaust.
Those who spoke to the crowd echoed the pleas of generations before -- to never forget the Holocaust and what happened.
Israel's New England General Consul, Shai Bazak, said that becomes more important every year:
"There are less and less persons who can tell us about the time, to remind us," he said.
Daisy Brand survived.
She talked of forced labor and days marching - and the day her mother disappeared.
It was 65 years before she met a man who knew what happened.
Mayor Tom Menino spoke, urging to remember the stories of those who perished and honor their legacy
