(when the japanese invaded singapore, they killed a couple uncles. my mom's family in malaysia hid in the woods, as far as i've been able to discern, unsure how many were killed.) i want to get their stories recorded but it's difficult being half a world away and people not really wanting to relive that time.<BR/><BR/>i can't imagine anything on the scale of the holocaust...it's humbling and makes me so thankful for my easy life.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217802272934413156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166553615141148572006-12-19T13:40:00.000-05:002006-12-19T13:40:00.000-05:00I just cried when reading your post.

I am not Jewish, know no one who suffered at the hands of the Nazis and I guess it never affected me....but it did. I am so sorry that your family had to endure the most horrible event in history. I'm sorry you lost family. I'm sorry you have so many unanswered questions. I'm so sorry that you are hurting. Huge hugs to you, my friend.<BR/>love<BR/>raeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166543900394866272006-12-19T10:58:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:58:00.000-05:00Wow.

My grandmother, her sister, and a handful of other relatives were already in the states by that time, and had been here for perhaps 10-12 years, but she (we) lost relatives as well.I remember hearing a couple of times that "we didn't know what happened to him/her" after the war. Other than that, it's not really mentioned in my family, either. I can understand it, but I also wish there were more people speaking about it in graphic and concrete terms otherwise I believe we risk something similar happening again, elsewhere.wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03405214739637253818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166543797896330672006-12-19T10:56:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:56:00.000-05:00i can't believe he kept the stationery. i would've...i can't believe he kept the stationery. i would've kept it as far away from me as possible, but otoh, it's almost a testament to his survival that he was *able* to keep it. <BR/><BR/>anyway, wow. what an excellent post. people need to remember that this happened, so good thing you are documenting since no one else in your family is. and, hugs to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166535309394485892006-12-19T08:35:00.000-05:002006-12-19T08:35:00.000-05:00Beautiful and haunting post, Dharma.

Then again, who would have dreamed of the Holocaust?<BR/><BR/>Wishing you peace this Hanukkah and always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
