1938 Rhodes Family Portrait of Reina (Cohen) and Solomon Varon with their children: Laura, Stella, Joseph and Asher.“I didn’t know it at that time, but Joseph, Asher, Stella and I were the only brothers and sisters from any family in Rhodes to have survived intact. The odds against us had probably been immense, but we had somehow won this lottery of chance. Mother and Father, of course, had paid the price of our ticket.” – Laura Varon, The Juderia – A Holocaust Survivor’s Tribute to the Jewish Community of Rhodes On Yom HaShoah, we honor the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the courage of survivors and rescuers. Their memory must never be forgotten.
