Is hearing a person’s name enough to truly know them? What does my own name say about me? Why was the name Rosa added to Tamar? Why did the mother of Maayan and Yuval change their last name to Pollack? How were the childhood years of Moshe Goldstein, Yehudit Harari, Chava Blau, and Avraham-Alberto Lazar taken away from them? And what memory stayed with them even after they came to Israel and built families of their own? Through this journey into the world of memories, we discover what lies behind a name and understand the importance and responsibility we carry to remember and to honor those who perished.
