The article "a tattoo to remember" by Jodi Rudoren is about Eli Sagir, a young girl who decided to get the same tattoo her grandfather got during the holocaust from Nazis at Auschwitz. Eli Sagir decided to get the tattoo to remember what her grandfather went through and to remember her grandfather’s survival of the holocaust. Sagir stated, “I want to tell them my grandfather’s story and the holocaust story.” Sagir’s grandfather, Diamant, is among the handful of children and grandchildren of Auschwitz who are survivors of the holocaust.  Sagir makes a point that her generation knows nothing about the holocaust, states that, “all my generation knows is nothing about the holocaust.” Eli's wish to inform her generation about the holocaust simply comes from the fact that she appreciates what her grandfather and others like him went through and knows that it only created a better life for them. Though Sagir’s tattoo symbolizes love and appreciation she has received criticism for having it, some claiming that it’s just a way to hold on the past. Sagir remembers a comment that a cashier made saying that, “you’re trying to be him and take his suffering,” she also recalls a police saying, “god created forgetfulness so we can forget.”  For those people you don’t really get the significance of Eli getting the tattoo they seem to just think it’s a scar and it’s just a way to carry on the holocaust but for  Eli it’s a way to make sure that the holocaust will never happen again.
