Watch this presentation: We say people must remember the Holocaust in the future, but we’re ignoring its victims today.
Frances Irwin is 90 years old. She was born in Poland and lives in Brooklyn. She is a Holocaust survivor.
Frances is lonely, even though her son takes care of her. She
collects used aluminum foil in a kitchen piled high with paper plates.
She relies on an emergency wristband to call for help. When you ask her
