One memory of Hanukkah as a child lasts a lifetime for Holocaust survivor

Posted on December 25, 2024

Henry Baum, 97, doesn’t remember much about Germany being he was only a boy when his mother put him on the Kindertransport in order to escape the atrocities Jewish people were facing during the Holocaust.

However, there is one memory that he loves to recall.

“No matter what happens in your life, all of the good things you learn from your parents or remember as a child, will come back to you,” said Baum, who is among the people who have shared their stories during talks at The Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills that help to foster empathy, tolerance and understanding today.

What he remembers is one Hanukkah as a boy.
