Hello Jack, I am your cousin Scott in Southern California. My grandparents were Nick and Zena and I have fond yet distant memories of being with them, Marsha and Hyman in Florida. Regrettably we have never met, but I know your mother…mostly from when we were both much younger, and she has sent me a link to this story. Strong writing and hard to read/accept. Over my life I’ve learned that throughout millennia this earth has seen horrible atrocities amongst marvelous achievements. …And I suspect it may continue that way despite our more advanced knowledge and perspective. I wish you happiness, contentment and enlightenment as you explore and find your way. ❤️

Jack - This is a powerful piece of writing, dispassionate on the facts and emotional on sharing your feelings. I look forward to reading the other posts.

Chag Sameach!
