Holocaust

Once in a while, sad to say that it is so rare, I come across a story that makes me proud to be a member of the human race. A man by the name of Felix Zandman was hidden away in a small underground room along with his uncle and two other Jews in Poland during WW 11. The room was so small they had to take turns lying down and deal with their personal modesty as best they could for the 17 months they lived in this tiny space. To pass the time the uncle taught the young Felix higher math by rote. After the war Felix went on to college and later immigrated to the US where he founded an electronics company, Vishay International. He died this week at the age of 83, a self-made billionaire. Have you ever wondered what the other 6 million Jews, who were killed in the Holocaust, might have contributed to the world, had they lived? We all have heard it said that we would never allow this to happen again but things are developing around the world today that cause me concern. I am speaking of the growing sympathy toward the people of Palestine and the threats from some of the Israeli neighbors.
