It's terrible so many of those 94 years were filled with pain and suffering. I offer my sincerest condolences to all those directly impacted by Simcha's death. Isaiah 14:3-7 provided me a lot of comfort reflecting on those I've lost, I hope it does the same for you.

Mr. Rotem was a brave and courageous man. Rest assured, he will be in God's memory. Proverbs 10:7 promises, The memory of the righteous one is due for a blessing. May each of you be comforted.

My sincere condolences and prayers for the loss of your loved one. Psalms 90:10 shows how he lived a long life of special mightiness from God. Keep his many, many, many memories close in your hearts and minds and cherish them forever. May the comfort of God be with you all during this time of grief.

When in High school, I had done a project on some of the ghettos in holocaust. To read and hear the stories of the Jews and others who were persecuted and killed, had broken my heart. No one should have gone through so much suffering. The Nazi's leader was an evil man. Though dead, the memories of him are still nightmares today. But there is a promise made from God that there will be an end to the corrupt government and leaders that care not for It's people. At Daniel 2:44, God promises a perfect kingdom that will last forever. I hope this comfort and my family and I send our condolences.

"A true friend shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress".

Mr. Kazik showed his formidable love for others, when he risked his life on behalf of them. His passion for peace was remarkable. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear friend, father, and brother. He is now resting and his memory rest in the hands of our Lord.

I do not know you personally, but as a sister in Judaism, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your bravery. You saved my ancestors; and, therefore, my mother and I and my two daughters were allowed to be born.
There is no greater gift for humanity and for the Jewish people than what you have given under the most trying events that have ever occurred.
May your memory be for a blessing.
