(The image above is a slide from a talk that Rya gave at Har Zion on Jan 29, 2026, for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, It is on Har Zion’s YouTube and it is well worth watching. The slide is hair that was cut off the prisoners as they entered the camp; she begins talking about it at about 37 minutes into her talk.)
