A Noise
First, there was a noise. During World War II, Hitler destroyed six million Jews in what has come to be known as the Nazi Holocaust.
On April 30, 1962, the Israelis published a postage stamp with the picture of six burning candles and the star of David on fire, and quoted
in Hebrew on the tab of the stamp is Psalms 42:4-5 “When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise,
with a multitude that kept holyday.
On this stamp each candle represents one million Jews who were destroyed in Nazi camps. When the war crimes were brought to the public’s attention the noise, the plight of the Jews, went throughout the world. When you visit Israel you will be taken to Yad Vashem Monument which was erected in memory of the six million Jews who were murdered during the Nazi Holocaust. This monument embraces a research center, a photo and film library relating to the terrible events of the Holocaust. Within this monument a flame flickers in memory of those who died. The children of Israel are taken there each year to be reminded of what happened before, and to assure them that it will not happen again. Though six million Jews were destroyed (dry bones), yet the nation of Israel was not destroyed.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance."
