Jews can die twice. It is a strange thing to say that a human being can die two times. Yet, in Jewish tradition, it is possible for a Jew to die twice. The first death of an individual is when their body fails. The second death is when they are forgotten. No one knows their name anymore, no one says kaddish for them, no one remembers they ever lived. They are erased from memory just as the Nazis wished and attempted to do.
