Great piece Bray. Thank you. I had 2 uncles who were in concentration camps. One was a priest...the other an opera singer. They were studying in Germany. Their camps were liberated by American soldiers and they were eternally grateful to the Americans who helped them.
As much as I disagreed with a lot of GHW Bush’s policies( and that of his son),I am grateful to him for serving this nation.
When I was about 10 yrs old (for context, I’m 46 now) I was in line at a grocery store with my grandmother...the women in front of us had the tattoo. I was a history nerd even then, and couldn’t help but stare. She caught my gaze and said “It’s ok young man, I’m still alive”
3rd most pivotal event in my life thus far
