The PPT is telling a little bit about the history of the Holocaust

The purpose of the peulah is to make chanichim sensitive to and aware of the messages of Yom HaZikaron.  While Yom HaZikaron is a very emotional day, this peulah has been kept relatively light because it is designed for snif.

The chanichim should leave the sicha understanding

(1)   The power of Yom Ha’atzmaut – how all these different Jews came together to fight as an Am and why it was it was so important for the Jews in 1948 to have an independent Jewish State.

(2)   The battle for Yom Ha’atzmaut applies to us today and we can only truly appreciate it when looking at it as part of a cycle of the hardships of Jewish History (Yom Hashoah and Yom HaZicaron).
