He comes off in the interview as a wonderful man. I once google searched his name following another year of using clips in my history class from "Liberation", and when I read his obituary in a Chicago paper about how he used his life after WWII to educate and inform others about the Holocaust and tolerance I found myself truly admiring this man. Thanks for this detailed history.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146496509653293323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148048131502110089.post-78219761664039037162016-01-31T15:35:06.058-06:002016-01-31T15:35:06.058-06:00Patrick what a wonderful blog.

I came across your blog from a Google search and am extremely grateful as you managed to teach me things about his life that I did not know, as well as to remind me of things I did. Thank you for writing this and thank you for being the kind of person that he would want around (clearly the best kind of selfless, empowered, determined, justice seeking type).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743690078248100709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148048131502110089.post-5632570910670814422016-01-28T11:36:42.394-06:002016-01-28T11:36:42.394-06:00This was beautiful and thank you for sharing.
