I have read a few books about the holocaust and it really is 'madness' which affects you even when you are just a reader...sigh! What else can i say.

When an invitation came to my grandmother's sister's wedding they were afraid if they went they wouldn't be able to get out again and did not go, the right decision but one my grandmother never forgave herself for - nearly all the family they left behind were murdered. I'm not sure how much help I could be but I'll do whatever I can.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-45013085219452691392011-05-01T23:45:35.211+03:002011-05-01T23:45:35.211+03:00This is a powerful post. i wish all the world joi...This is a powerful post. i wish all the world joined in this remembrance.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-21466301190114447582011-05-01T23:39:49.428+03:002011-05-01T23:39:49.428+03:00So you're a survivor family?
