Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) Livia addressed a speech to the women in the camp in which she spoke of their capacity to give each other love The women did not eat the bread they received on Yom Kippur – they hid it under their pillows We have hurt them because we are but flesh and blood and led us astray from the path of justice and righteousness We ask that G-d forgive us in the name of our loved ones for we are far away from all those we love and may G-d forgive us for all our iniquities We ask G-d to hear our entreaties: to hear the prayers of the mothers and to feel their yearning for their babies and little children May G-d hear the prayers of the women who wish to see their husbands who long to be once more in the bosom of their families and believe in miracles; we believe that all our families relatives and loved ones feel as we do here in this cold I remember that our brave and holy rabbi of Gyor gathered us together in the ghetto on the Friday night before his deportation to Auschwitz of the fact that however much is given to others love still remains in the heart of the giver given on Friday night in the camp huts to those awaiting deportation It is easy for man to

that we receive daily after a hard day’s work We must observe the commandment “Thou shalt not steal” for if someone takes another’s daily ration that person will have nothing to eat the whole day Free us from the suffering inflicted by the Nazi foe I believe that G-d will hear our prayers on this holy day and that he will answer us in the words of the prayer: “I have forgiven”.” she arrived in
