>>>>>>>The resistance swiftly mobilized, placing bricks on the tracks to stop a transport train packed with hundreds of Jews bound for the camps. About 250 prisoners escaped."His survival saved hundreds," the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said in a tribute. <<<<<<<

Anyone wonder how many hundreds of thousands would be saved if USAAF and RAF decided to destroy the railway lines to Auschwitz instead of bombing of civilians in Nazi occupied Allied cities?. I guess allied bombs would be more efficient than bricks on a raiway tracks in stoping the trains to the death factory.

Of course, bombing of Auschwitz railway tracks would harm syntetic rubber production in Auschwitz Buna plant and would not be good news to the Standard Oil Co. and their Nazi business partners.

Simon Wiesenthal is gone. Sadly, as the last eyewitnesses are slowly fading away the complete story will never be told.

So true. It's up to the current generation to not allow the memory of the millions butchered during the Shoah to be forgotten, especially by those lurking about deliberately stating it never happened.
