To the town where no right thinking Pole would give them shelter? This camp is in the middle of nowhere. All that gives you life's work and my good wishes. Do you understand?” (pg 151) That was a nazi leader about to hang four jews that tried to escape.

Remembering The year of 1933 Hitler's plan to kill every Jew was a genocide that would impact every generation to this day.
