That is amazing.
I have family who survived the camps and some who didn't. I also have family who fought as allied soldiers.
Thank you for this project.
My great-uncle is 90 years old and a survivor of Buchenwald. I'm going to send him the link to your website so that he can see what the children are doing. It will make him proud.

I love this project.... all my unwanted stamps go there, eventually.
I especially love that one of the images is Kristalnacht. It is one of the early, PUBLIC manifestations of the evil to come.
Tomorrow, being veteran's day, brings to mind the cost of doing nothing, when something could have been done with relative ease at an earlier date. Churchill talks about this in his 6-volume memoirs, having urged Britain and France to intervene in German armament preparations in 1935, when France's army dwarfed the Wehrmacht in size and quality. Our own Bobby Barnhart's motto rings especially true here.
Remember our long-dead boys and men, as well as the innocents abroad, who died because of others' apathy or unwillingness to see, or speak, or do.
As Bobby says, "all that evil needs to triumph......"
Bless those who fought for others; bless those who cried out against tyranny and bigotry and evil; and, especially, bless those today who speak their minds in the face of governments and people who wish them to remain silent.

A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent).
