Thank you.A perfect example of that is my father.At 16 years old both his parents were deported.While children at that age are supposed to be playing ball he had to flee the Nazis.I honestly don't know if i could've done what he did.He's 83 years old and has had 2 hip replacements,quad surgery,prostate cancer and various other ailments.I hope i look as good him and have all my faculties at that age.

you're welcome!
i have to also say tho, that i'm always embarrassed to be a human being when i see pictures from the holocaust. we're supposed to be the 'civilized' animal. boy, that's a laugh when you look at things people have done to their fellow man.

but hopefully finally the jewish people have found their place, and will keep it--and in peace!

your father sounds like quite a guy by the way.
