A further explanation.
I had gone through a very heart wrenching day yesterday. When I was in the Toronto, Hamilton area this past summer my sister gave me two family picture albums. I had opened the albums and went through them selecting pictures and sending copies to my children. There were hundreds of them. I came accross photos that I had not seen in a long time. Many of these were of my family and seeing certain ones of my brothers who are no longer with us brought tears to my eyes.
Also seeing the neighbors, who I found out many have have passed on, we were the only family in the neighborhood that were not Jewish. All my friends were Jewish. I used to go to the Jewish school on Sat mornings with my friend Henry Vine. The Goldblatts, the Goldbergs, Sniders, Ginsbergs and Wieners were are friends. After the war there relatives, kids without parents, parents without their kids came to live on our street. I even worked for Elie Goldberg when I was 12 years old, my brother and I would sell fruits and vegetables from his truck a 6 qt basket of Tomatoes or Peaches $1.00.
When I saw the one word GENES it brought back some memories of these stories from victims I had heard.
