I and a light
1 • • t upon the
huts and atop the trees
d
bushes around us. From afa
could hear the voices of
en
returning from the field and
the ring o
ildren's I
ter.
The new
ement,
h we
cam
was set
g down
to
even'
after an-
ay if har•
or . .
man w
sat on the
ench across
small wooden
table, was •
is early thirties.
He was
of the founders of
the s •
ment, a fact of which
he
s visibly, and rightly,
d. Indeed, there was no
eed for him to tell about his
part. Even beyond the bounds
of the settlement one heard
the praise of his energy and
resourcefulness that made the
settlement stand out as a model
of success.
He came to the country as a •
youth shortly after the estab
lishment of the state, but not
too late to join in the battle
for independence. Like so many
others, he came from a camp
in Europe having gone through
the horrors of the Nazi camps •
Somehow—he said—I always
knew that I would reach Eretz
Israel . . . Even in the dark-
est hours, when death was lurk-
ing, I knew it could not be the
end . . .
The candle . . . He looked at
it with eyes that reflected
warmth and sadness, pride and
bitterness . . .
I can still remember the

day . . . the hour . . . That
day the order came out for
all Jews in the Ghetto to as-
semble at an appointed place
in town. It was on the first-
day of Hanukah . . . My
mother began hastily packing
some belongings into a bun-
dle (my father had by then
"disappeared") . . . My little
sister was crying . . . so was
my mother . . . It was eleven
in the morning when we were
all ready to go. Suddenly my
grandfather fell to the floor.
He was old and frail and his
heart failed him . . . There
was little we could do . . . As
my mother ran out of the
house frantically to look for
a- doctor, I sat nearany grand-
father. He brought out a
smile on his pale lips and,
holding my hand, told me to
take care of mother and sis-
ter and not to worry about
him . . . I am old, he said,
maybe it's better this way
. .. You are young and never
despair ... A Jew must never
despair . . Then his eyes
fell upon the old Hanukah
lamp that stood in the corner
with one little candle in it
. . . "Take the candle with
you," he whispered, "Remem-
ber . . . today is Hanukah
. . . take- it . . . today is
Hanukah . . . remember the
light of Maccabi . .. take it
. . . remember . . ."

When mother returned he was
dead.
Our long journey began that
day. Soon I found myself in a
camp, alone. Mother was taken
away and I never saw her
again . . . For five years the
nightmare lasted and no need
to tell you any details .. . For
five years I fought death and
despair. I never parted with
the candle. It became a symbol.
It grew into. a challenge. The
words of my dying grandfather
echoed within me: "Remember
the light of the Maccabi" . . .
It gave me strength . . . it filled
me with determination to sur-
vive . . . to "prove" that it can
overcome even the Nazi beast
as the prayer says, "And Thou
gave the many into the hands
of the few" .. .
And here it is, the candle,
which brought me to these
shores. E very Hanukah I take
it out and place it alongside
the lit Hanukah for all to see
. . . In memory of my grand-
father who with his dying eyes
saw it shining again at the end
of the bleak road ahead . . .
