радуница (день поминовения)
May. 14th, 2013 09:15 pmСегодня я была на кладбище у Андрея. Принесла ему цветочки и поворчала, что старших надо уважать и пропускать вперёд, на кладбище в том числе. А потом оказалось, что очень близко от его могилы находится место поминовения жертв Холокоста. На отдельных скамьях обозначен Освенцим, Треблинка, другие концлагеря и Бабий Яр. Вот тут-то я и разревелась. Ревела я, конечно, по Андрею, но и по тем, погибшим тоже, заодно. Однако, я рада, что нашла это место, будет куда 29 сентября цветочки принести.

Когда я буду там в следующий раз, я узнаю о нём подробнее, у нас есть родные, погибшие в Бабьем Яру, а там на стеле я видела имена.

Date: 2013-05-27 02:21 am (UTC)Thank you so much for visiting my father's grave and leaving the flowers! I know it's generally not the custom to leave flowers on graves in a Jewish cemetery, but my mother and I were very touched to see the flowers when we visited my father's grave recently. It was nice to see that other friends of my father are visiting his grave, as well.
As for the Babyi Yar memorial - they told us a little bit about it when we were first trying to decide where to get the plot for my grandfather when he died last Fall. They said that they are happy to add the names of family members who died in those places to the memorial for free if people asked - so, if you would like to add the names of your family to the memorial, I am sure they would be glad to do so for you. They told us that they built this part of the cemetery specifically for families who were originally from Russia, which is why they have some writing there that is only in Russian. I do really like that memorial - it might be out of the way, but I like the area (obviously, since we chose this area for our family, as well), and I think it's quite tastefully done.
