Russians in South Florida Recall the Cost of Victory in World War II - Sun-Sentinel - FL

The event was Victory Day, the May 9 holiday in Russia that commemorates the defeat of Nazi Germany and honors the estimated 20 million citizens and soldiers who died…”Everyone lost someone — a father, a mother, a brother or a sister — in the war against Hitler,” said Rabbi Alex Kaller, head of the Chabad Jewish Center in Sunny Isles. “It was the war against Hitler, a fight for survival, and these are folks who really defined life for future generations in Russia. The young still know — just today a teacher in our preschool wished me a happy May 9.”
