“ I Remember Against Genocide, What this bracelet means to me...is more than one would imagine...
It is in short, a symbol of love and respect. In Depth, well... there is no easy answer. I believe it is a conversation that must be had and never be forgotten.

My bracelet honors my SABA’S continuing life and legacy. He is Dr. Mordecai Paldiel, a leading scholar on the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust. As a child, he and his family moved to various parts of occupied France. In September 1943, with the help of the Catholic cleric Simon Gallay, his parents, five siblings and him fled to Switzerland, where they stayed until the war’s end, then moved to the USA, and settled in Brooklyn. He would go onto earn an MA and PhD in Holocaust Studies, at Temple University. My Saba, Dr. Mordecai Paldiel was the director of Yad Vashem’s Department of the Righteous in Jerusalem from 1984 until his retirement in 2007. Thousands of Righteous Among the Nations were recognized during my Saba’s tenure at Yad Vashem including the priest who saved his families life. "

"To honor my Grandfather who fought in WWII and was a POW. I believe it is important to keep the conversation alive in regards to holocaust and genocide so that it's not forgotten and history therefore does not repeat itself. By wearing a beautiful and intricate bracelet such as this one, the conversation is sparked in a natural manner and the deeper meaning then presented."

"I proudly wear my I REMEMBER bracelet with my maiden name-TRAURIG- engraved on the inside, alongside my dad, Jack, his elegant inscription…I wear my I REMEMBER bracelet on my left wrist, as a visual reminder of the survival, against all odds, of my beloved dad who survived the torture of 3 concentration camps. I wear this bracelet as a visual reminder of my dad’s memory that is forever engraved in my heart-A man of abundant kindness, gentleness and love. I wear this bracelet as a visual reminder of my grandparents, aunts, uncles and extended family who were murdered with no known resting place. I wear this bracelet and touch the imprint of the railroad tracks to remind me of their long, exhausting, suffocating and harrowing journey to an unknown hell on earth. I wear this bracelet to evoke questions and curiosity to reflect and learn of a time I cannot logically process. I wear this bracelet to pass on to my daughter to carry on the precious memory of the TRAURIG name and all the honor and meaning -attached to it.
I also wear this bracelet to symbolize the circle of life and continuity, as my fingers trace the circumference of the bracelet….Struggle, survival, renewal, perseverance, belief, hope, faith and endurance."

"My I REMEMBER bracelet - A reminder that we must never forget the atrocities of the Holocaust. I purchased this bracelet as a tribute to my Uncle Abe, a brilliant, loving man and a survivor of Auschwitz. His family perished (all except a brother) but their memory lives on. We must continue to tell the stories for our loved ones. I wear this bracelet proudly, and lovingly remember the sacrifice of so many souls. "

"I proudly wear my I REMEMBER bracelet in honor of my beloved mother and grandmother who survived Bergen Belsen and my great aunt who survived both Theresienstadt and its liquidation to Auschwitz. I wear it in loving memory of the grandfather I never knew, who, not as fortunate as his sister-in-law, was murdered upon his arrival at Auschwitz. I wear it to honor the memory of the six million innocents who perished mercilessly at the hands of the Nazis. I wear it because Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high, and if we're not vigilant, history will repeat itself. Why do I remember? Because for the good of humanity, forgetting is not an option."

"My father got me the I REMEMBER bracelet as a gift for my college graduation. One of the focal points of my college experience was studying the history of the Holocaust in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. With 27 other students and 2 professors, I visited these countries for 3 weeks and witnessed several concentration and death camps. While it was a difficult experience, I am grateful that I can continue to share what I learned with others. This bracelet represents my mission to never forget! Thank you! "

"This is a wonderful way to honor those who don’t have a voice and have suffered because of the horrors of ethnic cleansing. Every time I glance down at my wrist, I take a moment to remember to commemorate the memories of so many innocent souls- I reflect on the meaning behind this message so I never forget. I am in total awareness of the senseless pain and anguish too many have to endure. "

"The I REMEMBER bracelet is very important to me. It is very meaningful. I am wearing my bracelet to honor my father who during WWII, under the German guns, had to dig his own grave to be executed. Because the allied forces started bombing the area, the Germans left in a hurry, running for their life, and left my father. My father’s life was never the same again. I am wearing my bracelet to honor Stanley Glogover and all the people whose lives were changed forever due to the Holocaust! I am wearing my bracelet to honor every soul that lost their life in WWII under the Germans rule. I am wearing my bracelet to keep the conversation going and talk to young people, our children, and grandchildren to never forget!"

“Our mother, Luba Felman, survived the holocaust in her late teen years. The bracelet is a reminder of how she survived and how she managed, as a single parent, to raise twin daughters in the United States. The bracelet rail tracks design reminds us that her parents took the train to a death camp and she and her sister were allowed to live, hiding from the Germans. She survived all of that and still provided a good home for us. The words “I Remember” are our memories of her struggles and her strengths throughout the years. She was a devoted mother and a strong-willed independent woman that we can remember with pride."
Ruth Weinberg and Naomi Perle

“I bought two beautiful I REMEMBER bracelets for my Mom and Aunt to remember my grandmother Luba Felman. The train tracks of the bracelet symbolize the survivor that she was and all that she lost. I wanted my Mom and Aunt to have this bracelet to remember their Mom and the special relationship they had. Her signature is engraved on the inside of the bracelet. Now they always have a piece of my grandmother with them. They have done so much for me and I wanted to do something special for them. Our family has been through a lot and survived. “
