The Golberg-Polin family called on the public to “do something during these 24 hours to make our complicated world a bit better."
Tuesday marked the first yahrzeit of the “Beautiful Six” hostages—Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Alexander Lubanov, Almog Seroussi, Ori Danino and Eden Alexander—whose bodies were recovered by Israeli forces from a Rafah tunnel in southern Gaza at the end of August 2024.
All six had been shot multiple times by their Hamas captors at close range just days before their discovery, Israel’s Health Ministry confirmed, following autopsies on their remains.
Posting on the “Bring Hersh Home” page on Instagram, the Goldberg-Polin family appealed for people to “do something during these 24 hours to make our complicated world a bit better. It can be big or small, quiet or loud, private or public. Do it in memory of the Beautiful Six, including our Hersh. May his memory be a revolution… for goodness.”
