You Are My Sunshine

God recognizes all of us, regardless of what we wear. Don’t you think?

Yes, you know what’s kind of strange? I never realized how good life was until it wasn’t any more.

Good for Germany, that’s what everyone said about Hitler and his band of murderous monsters. True, he’d returned Germany’s pride, but at what price? It came at the price of human sacrifice.

He was a dreamer, but nothing can ever be accomplished without it first being a dream.

If we forget people, then they will really die. As long as we keep memories alive, then they live in our memories,

On a cool day, the first of September in the year of 1939, Hitler broke his promise to Poland. Because Germany had vowed to protect and never invade their Polish neighbors, Poland did not see any need to strengthen their army. Instead they relied on the integrity of the word of the great Führer. Therefore, when the German army invaded Poland, the Polish were no match for the powerful Third Reich. Within two weeks, Germany had conquered Poland, and the Nazi occupation began.

You have been a comfort to me. I know that you take good care of Christa and the baby. This means a great deal to me. I also want to say that I feel bad about what I must do to you. But sadly, I cannot seem to stop. I will try to go for several days without coming to you, but then it is almost like a drug. I must see you. We must play our game of pretend. Do you understand?

Then in October of 1943, the Nazis shut Treblinka down forever. The camp was completely dismantled ahead of the Soviet advance, and a farmhouse was built on the site, in an attempt to hide the evidence of the genocide.

Due to falling birth rates and a desire to promote Nazi eugenics, it became evident that Germany had to implement programs to increase the population of pure Aryan children. In 1936, Heinrich Himmler built homes where women of acceptable bloodlines were to be bred with SS officers. These homes were called Homes for the Lebensborn. Women who became pregnant out of wedlock could go to one of these establishments and receive the finest of food and care during their pregnancies, with no stigma attached. In fact, they were honored because they were bearing a child for Hitler, for the Fatherland. There was only one stipulation. Once the child was born, if the father was unwilling to raise it, it must be given over to the Home for the Lebensborn. When a woman entered the home, she signed papers to this effect, and the policy forbade mothers from taking their children without marriage to an SS officer. These breeding farms were created in the hopes of repopulating the world with a perfect Aryan race once the Nazis had cleared out all of the undesirables, such as: Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, the physically or mentally handicapped, and anyone else Hitler saw fit to destroy.

It has been reported that the Hitler Youth have been beating Jews who stray out of the Jewish sector. This is not Christian and this is not right in the sight of God.

If you never let yourself love anyone or anything, you can’t get hurt.

I think love is like that. It makes you happy no matter what else is going on around you.

There is good in bad, and bad in good. Nothing is ever all black or white,

There is no God. If there was God, He abandoned us when Adolf Hitler came into power.

Cyanide pills had been distributed among the SS officers, giving them the option of suicide, rather than a trial, if they were captured. The idea of suicide terrified Manfred. He cringed when he thought of death, and what judgment might await him if there by some chance was a God. Although he tried to put the fear of his demise out of his mind, it continually haunted him.

Manfred Blau,” the American soldier said, taking a pair of handcuffs and placing them on Manfred’s hands while another soldier held him at gunpoint. “You are under arrest for crimes against humanity.

Still, many Nazis managed to conceal their identities and escape to Europe or South America. Some were never found. Others, like Adolf Eichmann, were pursued by Mossad, the Israeli secret service. Mossad eventually found Eichmann living in South America. They captured him and brought him to Israel, where he was tried and hanged at Ramleh Prison in 1962.

The ashes from the crematory pits fell like snowflakes onto his hair and his black uniform. These were the ashes of the dead and murdered. The very thought nauseated him.

Dovid, don’t fall in love with me,” she said. “What? Why do you say that?” He reached for her hand. “Because I’m damaged. I’ve been hurt, and I don’t think I’m capable of love anymore.

The world in which we live can be a narrow bridge. The most important thing is not to fear. Keep moving straight ahead and your heart will be led by God. Don’t waste your day in dread. Help is near. A narrow bridge, a narrow bridge, but every step across will lead you home. So many things have changed, nothing near the same. Is it the way you thought it would be? Hang on every hope. I climb the burning rope. Suspended free, I float, look up and see. A narrow bridge, a narrow bridge, but every step across

Before the war ended, Britiain had promised that the land of Palestine would be awarded to the Jewish people The Zionists held fast to that dream throughout the entire war.

every blessing is a curse and every curse is a blessing.

It was a day like any other day in November of 1938, except that when it was finally over, it would go down in history as the date when Hitler openly waged war on the Jews of Germany. And so, on the ninth of November in the year of 1938, everything began its rapid descent in a downward spiral.

That night, genocide had begun that would last until the end of the war. November 9, 1938; would go down in history, in infamy, to be known forever as “Kristallnacht,” The Night of the Broken Glass.
