"...forced removal"

I removed a Holocaust post because of two factual errors. FB or it's robots are keeping watch. However I want to repost my personal connection to that time, and the people that survived it.

"...In my childhood many neighbors had green or dark blue numbers etched onto their arms. My parents made sure I understood what these meant. Max who ran the stationary store, …here called Candy Stores. The place where I got comic books model planes, and yes candy.

He survived a Camp.

The tailor who made my first suits as a boy our milk man,…milk was delivered to your door back then. The couple that ran the grocery store. Irving who drove the ice cream truck in summer. Also Mrs. Geller from the bakery. She made my birthday cakes.

All these had survived the Camps. All these wore numbers. This is not remote history. I knew spoke with was given kindness by these, and many who saw, and lived literal hell upon this earth.

I learned from them. I am grateful to them."
