So much pain, so many tears. Chambon and the brave city of Lyons were a shaft of sunlight, a chance of hope.

Especially for the mothers

Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us

and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

interesting, about the village of Le Chambon, France which gave sanctuary to Jewish children during WW2, and it looks a lovely place to visit if one can :-)

"A small French village which saved thousands of Jewish people and refugees from the Nazis has opened a museum to reveal its wartime secret.

Le Chambon, high in the mountains near Lyon, had a tradition of sheltering refugees from persecution even before the war. During the conflict it became a centre for those trying to escape."
