Menashe Ozrapour, Holocaust survivor
In his later years, Menashe became a sought-after speaker in schools, synagogues, and Holocaust education centers. His soft voice carried the weight of history, and when he spoke, he did so not to inspire fear or sorrow, but to teach. He reminded listeners that genocide begins with words, with indifference, and with the erosion of empathy. His message was one of vigilance and moral responsibility.
Menashe also contributed to Holocaust archives, recording his testimony for institutions like Yad Vashem and the USC Shoah Foundation. His story became part of a larger mosaic—each testimony a vital piece in preserving the truth for future generations.
