when i became ill my mother rate excerpts of robberson -- robinson crusoe. how lucky i was to my mother allowed to stay with and is able to bring a piece of foam with me. maybe including my extended family members were not so lucky. they were deported, their belongings confiscated before they were murdered. i've always remember my grandmother, my maternal grandparents, and my seven-year-old cousin who were killed in auschwitz. as we recite and chant the traditional prayer for the soul of the dead, i invite you to stand and hold high photo that is on your chair or together, we honor lives and remember them.
