Children's ID tags unearthed at Nazi death camp in Poland
Why I oppose NAZIs and all their enablers, Trump-humping Republican and otherwise.
Children's ID tags unearthed at Nazi death camp in Poland They reveal the tragic history of the Sobibor death camp. By Patrick Pester - Staff Writer LiveScience, Feb. 4, 2021 Archaeologists have unearthed the identity tags of four children murdered by the Nazis at Sobibor death camp in eastern Poland. Each metal tag is different and was likely given to the children by their parents prior to being separated from them. The parents may have hoped the ID tags would help the children be returned home, according to Yoram Haimi, an archaeologist at the Israel Antiquities Authority, who is part of a team excavating the site. "Every small artifact that we have brings a story. It's the story of the community from where they came to Sobibor," Haimi, whose uncle was killed at the camp, told Live Science. SNIP... The team unearthed the other three tags between 2012 and 2014 in the camp's "killing area," which contained the gas chamber, crematorium and a mass grave. The tags belonged to 8-year-old Deddie Zak, 12-year-old Annie Kapper and 11-year-old David Juda Van der Velde, who were murdered by the Nazis in 1943.

Thank you for taking the time to make clear the power of love, H2O Man.
What the Cellist Said...
“Every second we live is a new and unique moment for the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again. And what do we teach children in school? We teach them that two and two make four and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them: Do you know what you are? You are a Marvel. You are Unique. In all the world there is no other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed there has never been another child like you. And look at your body what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must cherish one another. You must work. We all must work to make this world worthy of children.” — Pablo Casals |
