US Astronaut Andrew “Drew” Feustel commemorated Israel’s Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day with a video message sent from the International Space Station. Feustel flew to space on 21 March 2018, carrying a facsimile copy of Petr Ginz’s “Moon Landscape,” the very same drawing the late Israeli Astronaut Ilan Ramon took with him on his doomed mission aboard the space shuttle “Columbia” in 2003.

Petr Ginz, a young Jewish boy from Prague, was an accomplished author and artist already in his teenage years. Ginz created “Moon Landscape” – a surprisingly accurate vision of what he envisioned the Earth would look like from the Moon, along with many other works of art, eight science-fiction novels, and a vivid journal detailing his many experiences especially while incarcerated in the Terezin ghetto on the outskirts of Prague. He was also the editor of the youth newspaper “Vedem” (We Will Lead) in Czech during his internment in the ghetto. Ginz was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, where he was murdered at the age of 16.
