On this Yom HaShoah, we remember and honor the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust. As we reflect on this dark period in history, it's essential to educate future generations to ensure such atrocities never happen again. 🕯️

Discussing the Holocaust with your child can be a daunting task, but it's crucial for fostering understanding, empathy, and tolerance. To help navigate this challenging conversation, we'd like to share an insightful article by Dr. Dona Matthews titled "How Should You Talk to Your Child About the Holocaust?" published in Psychology Today in 2018.

Dr. Matthews offers valuable advice on approaching the topic with sensitivity, age-appropriateness, and respect. By sharing this knowledge with our children, we can empower them to build a more compassionate and inclusive world. 🌎

Please take the time to read and share this important article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/going-beyond-intelligence/201811/how-should-you-talk-your-child-about-the-holocaust

May we continue to honor the memory of those who perished and work towards a brighter future. 💙
