Aish.com has an excellent Holocaust Studies section offering historical resources, stories, as well as Torah approaches to suffering and anti-semitism in both article form and multimedia.
Local UH resident, Alex Zelczer, a Holocaust Survivor has recently written a book entitled Eight Pieces of silk: What I could not tell my children. A very brief article about the book and what the author wrote it appears in the Cleveland Magazine.
Today, over sixty years later, Alex can still hear those imploring words reverberating in his head. “As soon as we get through with this, return to Vásárosnamény. Don’t go anywhere else. Let us wait for each other at home,” his distraught father had entreated. Well, … the SS had other plans. Eight Pieces of Silk is the touching memoir of Alex Zelczer, a keen observer and astute reporter of the daily savagery and mayhem of Nazi-controlled Hungary. From the wretched ghetto streets to the ghastly concentration camp barracks, the reader is swept along on a virtual journey to a man made Hell.
A powerful documentary on the faith and commitment of Holocaust survivors. (53 min. Viewer discretion advised) from Aish.com

In response to many readers who wrote us regarding the article on a new minivan which features a built-in vacuum cleaner saying that it is silly to promote upgrading to a van because of the vacuum option, we are sharing that indeed one can easily buy a portable auto vacuum cleaner that fits into a car’s cigarette lighter and probably works just as well and costs a lot less. Here are many examples of this and thanks to our involved readers for their responses.

Do your shlissel challahs (key-shaped (or containing a key) challah baked for first Shabbos after Pesach) lose their key shape during baking? Last year, we found that the challah comes out looking pretty good if you shape the entire challah as an old-fashioned key, like this: use three small balls of dough at one end (arranged in a sort of triangle configuration), attach them to a long piece of dough, and stick two short straight pieces of dough on one side of the long straight piece (to look like the “bit” of the key). Let the challah rise long enough so the pieces smoosh together a bit, then egg and bake. Enjoy!
