JPEF: You must have many days of personal reflection and remembrance. How is Yom HaShoah v’HaGevurah different?
Schulman: This is the day when most people remember the Shoah. For me, it is not that different than any other day because I think about it all the time. Every day is Yom HaShoah.
JPEF: What lessons would you like to share with young people today?
Schulman: That there was a resistance and Jews did not go like lambs to the slaughter. Jews resisted—they fought back!
JPEF: What do you think is important about Yom HaShoah v’HaGevurah?
Schulman: I think it is important for future generations, not those of past generations who remember it quite clearly. As I said already, for me one day is not any different than the other—it is my responsibility to remember it and speak about what happened every day.
