Joe Gandelman has written his perspective on the Holocaust, in memory of the 60th anniversary of the capture of Auschwitz.

“This was my family,” he said, slowly opening the photo album. Then he started pointing to a host of aging photos showing large, smiling groups of people of all ages.

“He’s dead — killed by the Nazis. She’s dead — killed by the Nazis. This little boy? Hitler killed him, too.And this little girl.” And so it went, as he showed his grandson the photos of family members who had been murdered by the Nazi regime in concentration camps. Some had simply disappeared.
