I want to thank you, your family and the foundation for all the great work you do. Two or three years ago, you sent me pins that I could share with my students. I teach a semester long HOLOCAUST STUDIES class at A Catholic High School and have been for 9 years. A Holocaust survivor by the name of Renee Firestone featured in the film, THE LAST DAYS, signed a book she gave me six years ago with the word, Zachor. It is after viewing this film that I give my students the pin and tell them about the importance of never forgetting the countless who died due to hatred. Please count on my continued prayerful support of all you do and the many you've taught through your organization. Thank you.

Shalom,

Many thanks for your ever so generous donation of the Zachor pins.You have no idea how students and members of Holocaust organizations reacted upon receiving the pins. First I have given them out to a graduating class. The students were so very grateful and begun to wear the Zachor proudly. At each seat there was a pin and card attached.I suggested that whenever we go to address students we should present the "Badge of Honor" as I call the Zachor pin as a sign of remembrance. We have an extremely active speakers bureau and also visit many Jewish organizations. I again must so wholeheartedly thank you for helping us to spread the memory of the greatest tragedy known to mankind,the Holocaust.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lesser,

    I was lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to hear you speak today. I am a student at the Meadows School and just wanted to e-mail you my most sincere and heartfelt thank you. As a fighter against injustice in my community, I was moved and touched by your story, not simply because it was personal and tragic, but more so because of your wisdom. You taught me something today that I shall never forget and that is to be thankful and have the ability to forgive. It is easy for people in this day and age to take everything for granted but you are living proof of someone who is constantly aware of the blessings around them. I, at times, can even take my family for granted. Yet, after your beautiful speech all I wanted to do was hug and kiss them and voice my love for them. You have a way about you that is gentle and for you to have the ability to still have a strong, unshakable faith and a love for humankind is a true testament of the kind of man that you are. You are a beacon for what I want to become and the injustice and cruelty you underwent is something I will always fight against. I hope you know that there is hope in the young people of my generation who will keep your story alive. I make a personal vow to you to stop any type of discrimination that comes across me in my lifetime. You said that at the end of every speech your audience wishes for something tangible, and even though I took three of the pins for safe keeping it was your story and your empowering presence that resounds in me to be the most tangible. Thank you for sharing your life with me and allowing me to be apart of your memories.

Warmest Regards,
Michelle Merica
