27HZ6pWpO6yl :  The Tour Manager and I have discussed one day going to Auschwitz. His gonadmrther passed through it near the end of the war; she and her two sisters (and apparently her mother and another sister) survived the experience. It was just about five years ago that we learned about her mom and other sister. As a Jew, I come from this history of violence. My side of the family was mostly spared the Holocaust, but that doesn't mean there aren't other stories in our background. Cossaks, a la Fiddler on the Roof, who allowed my gonadmrther and her family to survive because of the pharmacist in the family. My father's grandparents, who came from a town in Poland famous for herding most of the Jews inside, locking the door, and setting the whole thing on fire.Violence doesn't solve a damn thing. Killing each other doesn't, either. One day, the rest of the world will figure that out.And in the meantime, we can only hope that places like Auschwitz help spread that message.Happy travels, darling. It's been mucho fun to read and follow along.
