Bonnies Glogover’s ongoing mission to combat racism and the violent atrocities it breeds, created the I REMEMBER AGAINST GENOCIDE® Jewelry Collection: a set of exquisitely crafted bracelets in sterling silver, 18K rose, yellow and white gold, and platinum. The collection symbolizes remembrance and love, defiance and hope. Their design reflects the train tracks that led so many victims to a dark destination.
These gender-neutral bracelets are intended to evoke meaningful dialogue between wearers and observers. The words “I REMEMBER” are inscribed on the inside, with space allowed to engrave a loved-one’s name.
Bonnie Glogover wanted a symbolic piece of jewelry created in shining metals, that would memorialize my father’s camp experiences, celebrate the courage of all survivors, while honoring victims who have perished under genocidal regimes worldwide. This collection enables me to fulfill my father’s wish to heal hatred and educate and empower others against such atrocities.
The I REMEMBER AGAINST GENOCIDE® bracelet was inspired by Holocaust survivor, Stanley (Szlamek) Jackson Glogover, of blessed memory (1925-2013). However, it was created to honor all victims and survivors of genocide, past and present.
Genocide is a tragic part of our history and still happens today. Such depravity will always be incomprehensible. It’s what makes our commemoration of the victims and survivors of such atrocities important, as embodied in this piece of jewelry.
The bracelet is much more than a fashion accessory. It evokes discussion and meaningful interaction. It’s a symbol of remembrance and love, defiance and hope. It is a rallying cry raised in shining metals for those whose voices have been, and are being, silenced by tyranny.
The bracelet’s unique design interprets the train tracks that led to the infamous railhead at Birkenau where thousands of innocent prisoners, representing many faiths and many nationalities, were selected to live or perish.
The I REMEMBER AGAINST GENOCIDE® collection is produced in sterling silver, 18K yellow, rose and white gold, and platinum. This gender-neutral bracelet is symbolic of a journey of memory and love. The words “I REMEMBER” are inscribed on the inside, with space allowed to engrave the name of a loved one.
Mr. Glogover would say that his time served in Auschwitz (prisoner #81481) taught him how to “Make My Love Useful.” His words will remain with Bonnie forever.
