Holocaust survivors gather in Cooper City to share stories, warn of rising antisemitism
On Holocaust Survivor Day, more than 125 Holocaust survivors gathered in Cooper City, brought together by the Goodman Jewish Family Services organization. They got together to reflect on their harrowing pasts and express growing concern over the resurgence of antisemitism. Memories of a traumatized childhood Izabella Markovskaya and Willy Lipschutz, both infants during World War II, shared memories of lives uprooted by the Nazis. "We were running. We were trying to hide. That was my life. Many years again and again and again," said Markovskaya. "By the time I was six months old my father was taken away. Most my family was taken away. Somehow by miracle my mother was able to escape with me to Switzerland," Lipschutz recalled. After the war, he and his mother were the only family members to return to Belgium. "The [city] was just in a state of panics. Very very depressed. You know and I was put into a Jewish orphanage," he said. A warning for the future Despite the music and dancing with children at the commemorative event, both survivors say today's growing antisemitism is deeply disturbing. "Oh my God, I feel that I am about to die, and I am experiencing the same horrible situation I experienced as a baby. The antisemitism is growing. It's growing. It's growing. It's unbelievable," said Lipschutz. "I am thinking all the time about God. God give us freedom. Give us that freedom in the world," said Markovskaya. According to the Goodman Jewish Family Services, this event represents only a small portion of Broward County's approximately 1,500 Holocaust survivors.

This New Saie Powder Blush Is My Go-To For A Healthy Summer Glow
Blush is the one makeup product in my routine that I absolutely cannot go without. It instantly makes me look awake and healthy, and it adds life back into my complexion—especially during winter months. I usually opt for liquid blush because I prefer a dewy look, and I associate powder blush with the formulas of my youth that felt chalky and could look garish. So when Saie introduced a powder blush that promised a lightweight, diffused wash of color, I was curious to see if it would change my impression of powder options. After using Saie's SuperSuede Baked Powder Blush for several months, I found that it delivers long-lasting color with a soft, radiant and surprisingly natural finish. Saie's SuperSuede Baked Powder Blush delivers a natural, lightweight flush of color that lasts all ... More day. Saie is a popular beauty brand best known for its Glowy Super Gel—a multitasking illuminator that can be worn on its own or mixed with your favorite base products—and the Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush. The common denominator with Saie is that its formulas look natural and they're easy to apply, so I was excited to put the SuperSuede blush and its powdery texture to the test. Sephora When first trying it out, I began by swatching the blush colors on my hand using clean fingers. I was surprised at the instant color payoff—each was pigmented without looking harsh or overly bright. I then applied one of the lighter shades, Ciao, to my cheekbones using The Powder Blush Brush. I was surprised by how beautiful it looked on my skin: it blended easily, providing a just-right wash of color in a blurred, velvety finish. And it reflected the light without looking too shimmery for daytime wear. The Saie baked blush currently comes in six shades, and Mia and Ciao are the softest and most ... More wearable shades, in my opinion. After consistently using the Saie powder blush over several months (I even wore it to a workout class, and it didn't budge), I can say this has earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. Applying it is easy—I swipe my blush brush onto the powder's surface two to three times to pick up enough color. I then tap off the excess before swiping it from the apples of my cheeks up toward my temples. I'll often combine shades for a custom flush, and I can easily build up the color for a night out. The blush currently comes in six shades: Amore (a vibrant fuchsia), Stella (a bright coral), Mia (a soft rose shade and my current favorite), Bella (a cool pink), Grazie (a bright berry) and Ciao (a soft terracotta). While six shades may seem like a limited selection compared to other similar options on the market, there's still a nice range of bright and neutral hues. Mia and Ciao are the softest shades and the most wearable, in my opinion, and I typically reach for them on a day-to-day basis. I've found that Ciao is excellent for the summer because it imparts a soft, golden glow that mimics being out in the sun. I hope that Saie expands this line to include even more shades in the future. The Saie Powder Blush looks incredibly natural on the skin and blends seamlessly, making it an ... More excellent choice for blush beginners. Although I've been a fan of liquid blush for the past couple of years, Saie's SuperSuede has made me a powder blush devotee due to its lightweight feel, velvety texture and the natural flush it creates. I love how easy it is to apply and build the color, and the shades Mia and Ciao work well with my current rotation of cream and liquid blushes, especially when I'm looking to layer products for nighttime. I'm also impressed with the staying power; it has lasted through long walks, subway rides, sweaty workouts and even a pool day where the temperature reached almost 80 degrees. Now that it's become a staple in my makeup routine, I plan to wear it all summer long.
