***Sorry folks......I did not realise the rest of the story hadnt come out.....it must have been too long.........so am posting the other 1/2 on here)****
There was a camp next to the farm." Roma continued. "I saw a boy
there and I would throw him apples every day."
What an amazing coincidence that she had helped some other boy. "What
did he look like? I asked. He was tall, skinny, and hungry. I must have
seen him every day for six months."
My heart was racing. I couldn't believe it. This couldn't be. "Did he
tell you one day not to come back because he was leaving Schlieben?"
Roma looked at me in amazement. "Yes," That was me! " I was ready to
burst with joy and awe, flooded with emotions. I couldn't believe it! My
angel.
I'm not letting you go." I said to Roma. And in the back of the car
on that blind date, I proposed to her. I didn't want to wait.
You're crazy!" she said. But she invited me to meet her parents for
Shabbat dinner the following week. There was so much I looked forward to
learning about Roma, but the most important things I always knew: her
steadfastness, her goodness. For many months, in the worst of
circumstances, she had come to the fence and given me hope. Now that I'd found her
again, I could never let her go.
That day, she said yes. And I kept my word. After nearly 50 years of
marriage, two children and three grandchildren I have never let her go.

Yet in this day a Catholic Church had a known Holocaust denier David Irving speak at their Church. The man had been arrested in Austria and served time for his hateful message.
You go Catholics.
