The passing of Rose Girone, the world's oldest Holocaust survivor at the age of 113, leaves a profound sense of loss. 🕯️

She often reminded us, "Nothing's so bad that something good shouldn't come from it," a testament to her remarkable spirit.

Time is slipping away, and fewer than 245,000 Holocaust survivors are now left with us.

May the memory of Rose shine on, a radiant beacon of light and love. ❤️
