I found this article both inspiring and educational: | Budapest, 1944. Precise information from an informer led an officer of the Arrow Cross militia to search for a Jewish man who had slipped away from the ghetto at the studio of painter Lajos Szentivanyi. There was no time to arrange a proper hiding place, and the Jew simply concealed himself behind a screen in a room that was bad for hiding in, his yellow shoes peeking out beneath it. Fortunately, in the room was a spectacular nude painting that Szentivanyi was working on and from which the officer could not look away. Whether or not he saw the shoes, he stopped searching, spoke a few words to Szentivanyi and left. |
We'll never know all the good and all the evil that was done during the Holocaust. But what we can know, we should.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

No, I'm afraid I haven't. That's the Ken Burns documentary, right? My DirecTV receiver is on the fritz (I suspect the hard drive for its TiVo crashed), and I haven't even tried to watch TV in recent months. I better at least cancel my subscription!
