My grief is the same as all the jewish people in this world, my parents and the family I never met that perished in poland during the Holocaust, I keep on asking why? Hate is the devil in peoples hearts that have been indoctrinated by the darkness. This kind of pain for us is a memory of many pasts. We as humans must keep the darkness and evil away from this world.
