They kissed every step

They kissed every step I had the great honor of meeting Ms. martin and her husband as well as to hear her speak of her experiences with holocaust. She says she has had a very hard life, but it sounds like she is doing very well. She is proud that she has been in every corner of the world. She says she's a fighter. I was in front row and she touched me affectionately on the shoulder on more then one occasion. I think for this reading I may have been the only attendee with Jewish roots. I told her I am Elana Snyder. She said: "Ahhhh yes, SCHNEIDER!" At this point her husband waved her over to sign books saying : "Get over here and get to work!"

"Letters reveal voices from the Holocaust" (Balto. Sun 11/2/07 by Michael Hill

If you can pull this up on line, please try. It was a man who found letters written by an ancestor during the holocaust and saved them. Fascinating stuff. The article was by Michael Hill. You can communicate with him at michael.hill@baltsun.com You can also see a video at

I think the article said that the descendant was going to try to make these letters available at a museum. (it's been a month since I read the article)
