JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (April 24, 2017) – Hospitalman Michael Shoham, whose grandfather was a Holocaust survivor in Munich, Germany, tells his grandfather’s story of survival during a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony at Naval Hospital Jacksonville. The Holocaust was the persecution and murder of over six million men, women, and children by the Nazi regime in the 1930’s and 40’s. In 1933, the Jewish population in Europe stood at about 9.5 million, representing over 60 percent of the world’s Jewish population at the time. By 1945, nearly two of every three European Jews were killed as a result of the Holocaust. (U.S. Navy photo by Jacob Sippel, Naval Hospital Jacksonville/Released).
