My cousin reposted this image on Facebook. I checked the source page, but didn’t find an attribution. I did find it to be an interesting set of questions. Maybe the man does his good deeds in secret so as not to draw attention to them. In my youth, with great wealth came an understanding of […]
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and also the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where the full extent of the Nazi genocide came to light.
