 Remembering the Lives Stolen International Holocaust Remembrance Day – January 27, 2026 These images show Jewish children imprisoned at Auschwitz. They show men, women, and children crammed into cattle cars—human beings treated as cargo, sent on a path to destruction. They were children with names, laughter, and dreams. They were children who should have been running through playgrounds, learning at school, celebrating birthdays. They were parents, grandparents, and elders—keepers of stories, traditions, and wisdom—torn from their homes and families. Entire communities were erased, leaving behind only silence where life once thrived. We remember them not as statistics, not as numbers in history books, but as lives stolen too soon. Each person had a story, a future, a place in the world that was violently taken from them. We remember so that their names, their faces, and their stories endure. We remember so that the cruelty they suffered is never forgotten. We remember so that the ...

 In March 1948, 11-year-old Florence "Sally" Horner shoplifted a five-cent notebook from a Woolworth's in Camden, New Jersey, on a dare to join a girls' club at school. As she left, a man grabbed her arm and told her he was an FBI agent. In reality, he was Frank La Salle, a 50-year-old convicted child molester. He told Sally she needed to periodically "check in" with him or he would tell her mother and send her to prison. In June 1948, La Salle intercepted Sally on her way home from school and forced her to call her mother, claiming she was going on a weeklong beach trip with a friend's family. Instead, he took her to Atlantic City and held her captive for 21 months, moving her from Baltimore to Dallas to San Jose, sexually assaulting her repeatedly while posing as her father. In March 1950, Sally finally managed to call home from California. She was rescued on March 31, 1950, and reunited with her mother and sister at Philad...

 They were just teenagers when the world decided who they were. In 1994, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr., and Jason Baldwin were tried and convicted for a crime that shocked the nation — the brutal murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas: Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. The children’s bodies were found the day after they vanished, submerged in a narrow stream in Robin Hood Hills. They were naked. Their hands and feet were bound with their own shoelaces. They had been badly beaten. Two of the boys drowned. Christopher Byers suffered devastating injuries that fueled public horror and speculation. Fear took over West Memphis. With no physical evidence tying anyone to the crime, investigators focused on three outsiders — teenagers who wore black, listened to heavy metal, and didn’t fit in. Prosecutors claimed the murders were part of a satanic ritual, a theory born in panic rather than proof. Damien Echols was sentenced to death. Jessie ...

 A Simple Request for Firewood Led to a Life-Changing Act of Kindness An elderly widow was quietly facing the possibility of freezing. With no money for firewood and no way to make it through the winter, she made a final, desperate phone call—not to ask for charity, but simply to survive. When Paul Brittain answered the call, he expected a routine request for firewood. Instead, he heard the unsteady voice of an 85-year-old woman who feared the cold settling into her home and the bills she couldn’t pay until her next check arrived. She wasn’t asking for help—only hoping to buy enough wood to stay warm. Brittain didn’t hesitate. He loaded his truck and delivered the firewood to her home free of charge. Once there, he realized warmth was only part of her struggle. The roof was leaking. Her heat wasn’t working properly. Her car needed repairs. Brittain and his crew stepped in without question. They fixed her roof, restored her heating system, replaced her tires, and stacked e...
