Despite the horrors she'd seen at 12, she grew to be "happy, vibrant, active woman."

That was a beautiful story. How a woman had such horrors happen to her at 12 and she grew to be a wonderful person not letting what happen to her affect her. Her story really touched my heart.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called it a "crime that has no name", but it was given a name in 1948 - Genocide. When a Holocaust Survivor passes away it gives us pause to remind us of the unfathomable act of Genocide committed by the Nazis and their followers. When we are reminded over and over of this and other horrific acts of Genocide, this is how we are supposed to learn that "never again" can we let humanity perpetrate Genocide on innocent people. Thank you Helen Segal for your courage, and perserverence to overcome the events of your early life, and flourish, and not be embittered in it's aftermath. Thank You for reminding us again to "Never Forget"; to NEVER let Genocide happen again. You will not be forgotten Helen. G-d bless your soul!
