One sentence to add: 2020 is a million times better than was life for the 12 to 13 million killed in the death camps.Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-22328302202140358792020-09-19T19:12:58.583-05:002020-09-19T19:12:58.583-05:00Thanks and just to be clear I am not Jewish either...Thanks and just to be clear I am not Jewish either but know that some of my readers are of that faith. <br /><br />I read the short American version of Night, I understand the published original was hundreds of pages long. Nonetheless, the shorter one was quite the depiction of what the Jews suffered at the hands of the Nazis.

I have a very large and long standing love for the Jewish people, dating back to probably the age of 10, when I read a book, by Walter Pollack, called Medical Block Buchenwald. It was about pretty much what the title says. And it so moved me, that I have never forgotten the Jews and what happened during WWII. <br />I am now 60, and it still has stayed with me. I know that it was a pretty heavy book for a kid to read,but once I learned to read, I could not stop reading anything I got my hands on,and my parents were collectors of books. Norman Mailer, Ernie Pyle, Guadalcanal diaries, Papa Married a Mormon, anything that they had, I read. <br />So happy Rosh Hashana to you as well, and may your new Jewish New Year be much better than our 2020 has been.<br /><br />pigpen51Pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01683463718454987063noreply@blogger.com
