New Music Video Keeps Holocaust Memories Alive - Music Three quarters of a century has passed since the German invasion of Poland began World War II. As time progresses, the number of people who can recount their personal experiences during the Holocaust grows smaller and smaller, while the number of people who deny the Holocaust continues to increase.

Having recognized the challenge of keeping the Holocaust alive in today’s day and age, composer, writer and producer Cecelia Margulies has teamed up with producer and director Danny Finkelman and created "Rainbow in the Night," a new music video which brings the Holocaust to life.

Celente himself lost a six figure sum that he was preparing to cash in to take physical delivery of gold bullion in December. Some customers have been told they may get around 60 per cent of their money back.
