Thank you for continuing to shine a light on the darkest side of anti-semitism, and the grim reality of man’s inhumanity toward men…women…and even babies.

My soon-to-be 101 yr. old dear friend Clara Rudnick continues to speak with utter clarity of her experience as a teenaged Holocaust survivor of several concentration camps, after the killing of her parents, two sisters and two brothers. With all the commemorations of this 80th Anniversay of her liberation, she is keenly aware that only 200,000 Holocaust survivors are still alive to tell their stories.

For many years, at the urging of Father Abraham, the SGF Greek Orthodox Church pastor, Clara spoke at local schools within her beloved “North Country” to keep her story alive on behalf of the millions of Jews who couldn’t tell their stories. She reflected yesterday once again on one of the biggest honors she experienced in being invited to speak to the St. Mary’s/St. Alphonsus school children. It’s one of my cherished memories also, watching the faces of those young students, totally enthralled by Clara’s presence and her Truth as she lived it… and the courage she still possesses in living life as fully as possible…and still believing “America is still the best country on earth…everything is gonna be OK.”

We should be calling our State Reps and ask them to support the dying with dignity bill. Even if you don't think you would use it, it's a right that people and their families should have available to them. If your belief doesn't allow you to make that choice, that's ok for you, but those who may need to, it's there for them.
