No matter their nationalities and religions these brave men will live forever in our hearts.

Thank you for showing the Australian graves. As a small (population wise) nation, we lost a disproportionate number of our young men in these battles of World War I. As a non-Jew I found the prayer for the dead very beautiful and moving. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺💙🇮🇱

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on the first day of Pesach 1943, and ended just under a month later. It was over before the 9th of Av. My dad loved your and Irv's lectures on the tour.

A series on Jewry leading up to and during WWI and it's aftermath (Balfour etc) would be fascinating: How Jewish identity meshed with the nationalisms of the war era. Thank you for your respect to our ANZAC graves. Shalom

An anecdotal story of WWI: Two soldiers from opposing armies enter into hand to hand fighting and one of them bayonettes the other one. As the solider is dying he shouts out the Shema, and the other soldier aghast exclaims: "God forgive me. I just killed a fellow Jew."

[@murrayaronson3753]

There were probably soldiers who said ""G-d forgive me. I just killed a fellow Christian."

WW1 was such a senseless undertaking. Old men sending young men to kill one another for no reason. That is especially true for young jewish men, fighting for Germany like the one poor man on the gravestone in min. 8.17. 20-25 years later they and their families had to go through the shoa. And did those on the other side really fight for something which made sense? For whose freedom were they fighting, coming the long way from Australia or from somewhere else?

Hello! Brother.

[@charlesedwards5333]

So now we are in WWIII.

[@murrayaronson3753]

Let's work hard to see THAT doesn't happen!

[@HenryAbramsonPhD]

Challenging times.

[@karlschreiber9286]

Many jews fought in WW I for Germany and for in the other side, for France. Dying for what? The french honour the soldiers a lot.

Nothing has changed. The young giving their lives for what?!
