Without question, the most powerful episode of Build Upon The Good. We must never forget the evil of the holocaust and never let it happen again. We'll help carry forward the stories of those that survived.

Holocaust survivor and co-author of "Four Perfect Pebbles", Marion Blumenthal Lazan shares her emotional and detailed story about the darkest of days.

Following Hitler's rise to power, the Blumenthal Family (father, mother, Marion and her brother) were trapped in Nazi Germany. They eventually fled to Holland, only for the Nazis to occupy that as well. For the next six and a half years, the Blumenthal's were forced to live in refugee, transit and prison camps. Their story is one of horror and hardship, yet also extreme courage, hope and the will to survive.

The world must never forget the holocaust and the evil involved. We must also never forget the lives that were lost and survived.

Marion is a beautiful soul and I'm honored to have her on Build Upon The Good.

We will never forget.
