Less than 60 years ago millions of jews met torture and death....60 years ago. The timeline of life goes back thousands of years, but only 60 years ago jews and other were tortured and killed. This is a tale that should be taught to every child of every land for the rest of time. Myself, being jewish was just my religion, with my understanding of the holocaust, I now beleive being Jewish is an honor.

In loving memory of my daddy -- who lost his entire family -- sweet little sisters, his dear parents, and who was tormented with grief, unable to tell his story. May all our children keep this history alive. [Inscription on Scroll of Remembrance, USHMM, November 2, 2003]
