Those who touch Survivors tell us 
their thoughts; now you can read their words…
“They need our compassion, our hugs and our care. They are disappearing so fast and we don’t have much time. It helps me to keep visiting knowing it may be the last time. Their days are so short and they are disappearing. They simply need to know we love them.” -Brecht, Netherlands
“We had a great time visiting with the people… The Ghetto Fighter Museum was incredible. I was there four hours and could have stayed longer. We really enjoyed coming to Akko because it is so peaceful…” -Doug, USA
“I have been interested in the Holocaust for quite a while now so I was glad to be able to read your book “Why is Great-Grandma So Sad?” I finished it and want to say it was very good.” -Beatrice, 10 yrs old, Wales
“Thank you for everything on our visit to Beit Shalom. It was a pleasure and a privilege. I
am changed. Isn’t our God so good? As we water others, HE waters us. Proverbs 11:25” -Glenys, Wales
“It is such a privilege for me to work with the Survivors. When I clean their homes they are talking to me and keep saying how grateful that we can all help…” -Lena, Russia/Israel
“When you come here you are changed. Volunteering with 
Holocaust Survivors has changed me. Others need to come here and Volunteer.” -Penny, Wales
“I thought it would be too hard for me to hear them tell their war experiences, but they are so sweet. I love visiting with them now.” -Sima, Israel
“There aren’t enough words, in any language, to express our 
thankfulness for allowing us to join with you and God, with what He is doing here in Israel.” -Barb Mandley, USA
“Visiting with the Survivors, and helping them, is special. Now I have met so many people from around the world. 
When it is time to leave I don’t know how I will do it.” -Elena, Siberia

“My heart is full; filled with a compassion and love for the Survivors of the Holocaust… Only God could give this burden to fill their final years with unconditional love, for us to represent HaShem with our hands and our feet. We go and evaluate what they need, give what support we can… but the love, the hugs, the care is what relieves their loneliness and fear of the future.” -Susan Heagy
