Anybody here related to a holocaust survivor or ever met one?
When I was a kid I met several... they have since passed away, but that's one thing that will always stick out in my mind... learning about the holocaust and meeting survivors who lost family members but they themselves were able to escape. Makes me sick to my stomach whenever I hear of people who deny it happened.

My daughter's best friend's great grandmother is one... fortunately she tells stories to the girls whenever she visits... yes, it IS hard - but I don't think kids should be shelted by stuff like this... it's important to learn and to get to meet real people who can tell you the story from their POV - not from a book or a movie.
