Sunday was Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK, and at my church we had a special service to mark the day. To my surprise I found myself heading there full of joy - the joy of being alive despite Hitler's attempts. As we say in the Haggadah*, in every generation someone tries to destroy us, yet God has kept us through all these awful times and is still keeping us alive. Despite the attempts of people like Haman and Hitler, here I am, a Jewish woman, alive and free and loved by God! Being alive and enjoying life is my answer to those who hate us.
*Haggadah - the book we use for telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt at Passover
