Hit-tip to Glenn Reynolds at
Instapundit. This story just caught my eye and a bit of my heart.
Click on the link in the story to see the pictures. Chelm is a small town west and a little south of Kracow, near the modern-day border with Belarus.

I have looked at these pictures and they break your heart. What monsters Hitler and his men were! These people never hurt anyone. I once wrote a piece about the Jewish people who found sanctuary in my rural South Carolina home town years ago. They were good and kind people who helped others. Think of the great contributions made to mankind by Jewish scientists. I mention all this because I fear the same fate awaits us all in a world ruled by Islamic murderers. Why can’t the world live in peace?

“A local history teacher introduced herself to him and handed him a CD with 178 photographs of many people, most of them young.”
So where are the originals taken, handled and touched by the living’s murdered family and hidden so that they may one day “live” again?

What a lovely story, thank you for posting it! My Father’s parents came from Poland.

Hashem kept the photographs safe all these decades. It is like He knew they would find their way into the right hands. If you're looking for proof God exists, this story is it. The miracle of the Hidden Hand Of God is everywhere - when we look for it.
Baruch Hashem!

Exactly my thought daddypatriot! Yet another reason to want to invent a time machine to go back 70-80 years or so and administer some preventative justice to Herr Schicklegruber like Bush did to Saddam.

It doesn't seem very appropriate given the seriousness of the subject, but I have to say, Shlomo Boden had fine taste in women.
To: Heatseeker
Proof that Shlomo was no homo.....eheheheheh,,,,

Very true. ;)
I hope at least some of these young people survived the Holocaust, emigrated to Israel or the US, and had lots of children and grandchildren.
