Every year leading up to the Holocaust Martyrs 'and Heroes' Remembrance Day, the question arises as to how the day should be marked and how it should be remembered.
In recent years, new and creative ways have emerged that will help mediate the event, such as "Eva's Story," which came up about two years ago.
"Fasting to Remember" is a new project supported by young people, third-generation Holocaust survivors, who offer an original way to remember the day in question: fasting.
The project website offers the idea of fasting as the best way to help the body connect to the difficulty and pain that Jews felt during the Holocaust.
The project offers, among other things, ideas for fasting for several hours or throughout the day, each according to his feeling.
The one who was very connected to the project is the singer Jonathan Margie who decided to join the project and fast.
He was not content with that and also brought up a story on the subject, in which he wrote: "A few years ago I visited the concentration camps in Poland, I heard from Holocaust survivors their story of heroism, and to me it was a living testimony to the shocking and inconceivable inferno that was there. "Make it a personal fast to commemorate the Holocaust, an initiative that caught and excited it. I invite you to participate in it with me, or at least read a little about it, so that we will never forget, even when there is no one to tell."
