International Holocaust Remembrance Day was marked by a distinguished and impressive ceremony in Hadera, attended by hundreds of survivors of the Holocaust along with the mayor of Hadera, Nir Ben Haim.
Helping Hand Coalition, who helps thousands of survivors of the Holocaust, organized the event to mark this remembrance day and continues its extensive cultural activities, preserving the memory of the Holocaust and distributing groceries to survivors with a total value of over 10 million shekels.
On Monday, January 27, 2020, an important and honorable event was commemorated in Moffat Hall on HaNassi Street in Hadera to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 75th anniversary of the siege of Leningrad and the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp. The event was initiated by Helping Hand Coalition and was attended by hundreds of survivors of the Holocaust, brought on buses from the north, as well as volunteers from the organization. The guest of honor and leading supporter of the event was the mayor of Hadera, Mr.Nir Ben Haim, who spoke at the ceremony and stressed the importance of remembering this event and helping the survivors of the Holocaust living amongst us in any way possible.
Helping Hand Coalition said that beginning on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, it intends to distribute, through its volunteers, consumer goods, food baskets, gifts, and shopping notes worth more than 10 million shekels to distributed more than 15,000 survivors registered in the organization throughout the year! The organization said volunteers and activists helped veteran survivors of the Holocaust throughout the country throughout the year.
On Remembrance Day, hundreds of survivors of the Holocaust from all over the country were brought to the event in Hadera. The following day, twenty survivors from Haifa were brought to HHC’s Caesarea Villa for a Shalom House event, where they enjoyed a special meal, a musical performance, and shared a testimony of their lives during the war. The same week, Yad Vashem organized Israel cultural events and hot meals to mark this remembrance day. Active projects are also being run; such as medical assistance, the Shalom House Project in Caesarea, eye clinics, crutches and wheelchair distribution, food vouchers, clothing, shoes, and furniture donations, tours and other cultural events, and assistance to the survivors of the Holocaust and World War II veterans.
The association reported that in 2019 survivors of the Holocaust in Israel were distributed half a million food coupons, 7,000 pairs of eyewear and reading across the country, and 3,000 walkers, wheelchairs and auxiliary equipment. Over the next two months, thousands of eyewear and hundreds of blood pressure machines will be distributed to a team of experts from abroad.
Luke Gasiorowski, director of Helping Hand Coalition for Israel, said that more than 150,000 survivors of the Holocaust now live in Israel, a quarter of them living below the poverty line. Helping Hand Coalition mostly supports this population, who came from Eastern European countries, by improving their quality of life and welfare as much as they can, along with assisting with their basic needs and helping them learn about their rights. Luke Gasiorowski said that today, 75 years after the war ended, the average age of the survivors is 83 years old.
Chairman and co-founder of Helping Hand Coalition, Andre Gasiorowski, said that as part of the Holocaust commemoration initiative, the film IZAK will be distributed and screened across the country and in 180 countries around the world. The film recounts the life story of Holocaust survivor Izak Goldfinger, who was born in Novi Sanz, Poland, and was 14 years old when he was captured in 1939. For six years and 11 labor camps, including Auschwitz, Izak was imprisoned. He survived and wore his tattoo, numbered 161145, which amounts to the number 18, meaning “life” in Hebrew, until the day he passed away in 2014. The tattoo became the organization’s logo, and Izak was titled as the honorary president of the organization when it was established in 2007.
Helping Hand Coalition is an organization that is working to assist survivors of the Holocaust across the country through a variety of actions and measures. The organizationโs operations allow survivors to enjoy hot meals, social gatherings, food distribution and coupons, documenting survivorsโ memorials, initiating a bar mitzvah celebration for survivors of the Holocaust who did not celebrate it as a child, assisting and participating in a life parade, and โIndividual Assistance Projectโ in the northern region, along with dozens of other projects.
Recently, the association decided to unveil its activities to enable more survivors of the Holocaust living across the country to enjoy its diverse services and to improve the quality of life of the survivors of their older age in their area of โโresidence throughout the country.
