Fashion Entrepreneur Creates National Holocaust Remembrance Day

EDGEWATER, N.J. - April 25, 2022 - PRLog -- Edgewater, NJ. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to move the needle of history forward. Such dedication exists with fashion entrepreneur and human rights activist, Bonnie Ray Glogover.

Bonnie is the daughter of Holocaust survivor, Stanley Glogover, (1925-2013. In 2000, she honored his wartime experiences by successfully lobbying the House of Representatives to establish a National Holocaust Remembrance Day to be marked each Spring. This year honoring the Shoah falls on Thursday, April 28^th.

Bonnie's initiative is particularly forceful given the current massacres of defenseless civilians in Ukraine. She is deeply committed to "Never forget," and to nationwide Holocaust education.

"Within hours of arriving at Auschwitz, my father's mother and his three younger siblings were gassed immediately," Bonnie comments. "We can't cure such evils unless we educate present and future generations about state-sponsored terror against people of all faiths and races."

In her ongoing mission to combat racism and the violent atrocities it breeds, Bonnie created the I REMEMBER AGAINST GENOCIDE® Jewelry Collection: a set of exquisitely crafted bracelets in sterling silver, 18K rose, yellow, and white gold, and platinum. The collection symbolizes remembrance and love, defiance and hope. Their design reflects the train tracks that led so many camp victims to a dark destination.

These gender-neutral bracelets are intended to evoke meaningful dialogue between wearers and observers. The words "I REMEMBER" are inscribed on the inside, with space allowed to engrave a loved-one's name.

"I wanted a symbolic piece of jewelry created in shining metals," Bonnie comments, "that would memorialize my father's camp experiences, celebrate the courage of all survivors, while honoring victims who have perished under genocidal regimes worldwide. This collection enables me to fulfill my father's wish to heal hatred, and educate and empower others against such atrocities."

A percentage of the bracelets' purchases are donated to non-profits who defend genocide victims. More information can be found at www.irememberbracelet.com.

From his time in Auschwitz (prisoner # 81481), Bonnie's father would say that it taught him how to "Make my love useful." His words will remain with her forever.

Bonnie continues his legacy by speaking out, making a difference in serving others, and by educating people about global genocide.
