I see that a few years ago people were discussing relatives from Lambsheim Germany. I saw that Monika from Michigan discussed that her mother asked about what happened to her friend Lilly Lang. My mother was Lillie (SP) Lang from Lambsheim. If Monika or others from Lambsheim or relative of those from Lambsheim read this board please contact me. |

I was in Zalkod two weeks ago. My great grandfather was born there and I was exploring the Tokaj region looking for info on my family. While in Zalkod, I interviewed the two oldest women in town about anything they could remember about Jews there. These sisters, 95 and 97 years old said they remembered a man named Katz who owned a store. I learned from this trip that 4 of my relatives died in Auschwitz, but I also found two living cousins who grew up with no grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins because of the Holocaust and they were very excited to learn of their family in the U.S. |

I am proud to have lived with a elder veteran that was there on D Day with the 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagles, I really wish I'd had payed more attention to his stories on them. He is always to me Uncle Carl. Home of the Brave is who we are and I am very thankful to have known this wonderful man, with others made history. I am interested in hearing more about these wonderful men in this unit. |

My great great grandfather was sent to this camp, he was a very powerful and rich man, he was a high ranking officer in WW1, he fought for Germany, and the Nazi's discovered he was Jewish, so all of his family immigrated to places such as England,Ireland and America. He was in a concentration camp for 2-3 years, and luckily he survived his ordeal. He died a couple of years later as his body had dramatically changed from the time he was in the camp.

I was brought up on the horror stories of the holocaust, yet STILL I can never read or see the pictures of "mans' inhumanity to man"and not weep. I honestly believe that although we have moved on from the dark days of World War 11, the holocaust should be a compulsory part of ALL childrens education, it's only by making sure that they ALL know the true horror, as painful as it is, can we hope to make sure that the souls that were lost, were not lost in vain. To the survivors of this hell on earth,you have nothing but my deepest respect and admiration, how you endured this is beyond belief. My father was a member of the 4th battallion K.S.L.I and as such was part of the liberation of the Bergen Belsen camp, so I have always had a particular affinity with this shameful part of our shared history. |

I am very proud to say that one of my great-uncles was in a group that drove up and discovered a camp in Germany without knowing what it was, and they helped the survivors. |

How we have let our societies crumble under the weight of corruption. How we have failed our children, our future. How we have failed in peace is the greatest insult to all the souls lost; both Jewish and non Jewish. Tears run from my eyes with the loss of our past and future. A dance beyond most peoples comprehension. A life lost needlessly today closes doors unseen tomorrow. May all the souls lost rest in peace. G_d help us if these souls rise again. All peoples everywhere need humbling. Never again... we have already failed. |
