WOW...It is true that you learn something new everyday.  I have been taught about the Holocaust, but never has it touched my heart like this.  It’s nice to know that at any age people are willing to give so much of themselves for such a good reason.  I am grateful for this 82 minutes of my day and I am grateful for people like the ones in Whitwell.
