I was hoping that you’d post about who your father was.

Hamakom Yenachem Otcha b’tock Aveli Tzion Virushalayim.

(I don’t know if you’re interested, but a friend posted a story about his grandfather, who, like your grandfather, was a soldier for the Axis in WWI.)

God bless your family, which has seen such heartache. Just remember, love is stronger than death.

Please continue. History, to me, is nothing more than people in the past, doing what we are today, trying to live their lives. To read it in the first person is a rare gift.

I eagerly await the next entry from your father’s notes. I wish that my late mother, who along with her parents escaped across the Austrian-Swiss border in 1938, had done the same thing. She eventually made it to Canada, where I was born.

hamakom yenachem atchem b’toch tsaar avleri Tsion v’Yerusahalim. May you be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Your father was forthright, articulate
and succinct. His words moved me here in Chicago as if I were listening at his knees.
I understand your loving and admiring him. Thank-you for sharing his words and his world

It is clear your father was part of ‘greatest generation’ in more ways than one.
