I am so impressed with the beautiful memorial. The artist really put his? heart and soul into this creation. It is impossible to understand how any human being can commit such atrocities, but Hitler was a savage, evil,"monster", not human. <BR/><BR/>MarjorieMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015642512286126041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-58621367787855238482008-12-02T00:41:00.000+00:002008-12-02T00:41:00.000+00:00I just came here from Gramma Ann's and although I'...I just came here from Gramma Ann's and although I've found this post very interesting, I'm more keen to say what a delight it is to see someone who likes "Auf Wiedersehen Pet". I'm a Canadian, but my husband and I fell upon the show a few years ago and loved it! Sadly, it's not on anymore and we've missed all the early episodes, but it was wonderful and since my husband is a fan of the EPL football, we became Newcastle fans! I have a Newcastle sweatshirt and all.<BR/><BR/>I'm signing up to follow you.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-51220192912004061302008-12-01T20:03:00.000+00:002008-12-01T20:03:00.000+00:00It is a really sad story and it must have been so ...It is a really sad story and it must have been so hard for the children and the parents too. I can't imagine how they must have felt.<BR/><BR/>The frost has let up today after 2 freezing cold but bright sunny days. We're up to 5C, 41F but it's miserable and raining. Tomorrow we have sun, cloud and scattered snow showers forecast.<BR/><BR/>I've heard about that South African tea. My friend used to drink Green tea which I found very bitter. I'll look out for the cherry one as I am always on the look out for alternatives to coffee. SO far all I've found to my taste is ginger and lemon which is lovely in winter.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-35212521245891170272008-12-01T19:50:00.000+00:002008-12-01T19:50:00.000+00:00My word...I remember more about this now.

In fact...Hello Winifred, Yes, I have heard of this. In fact I wanted to get a book from the library about it. There was a woman who risked her life many times for this cause of helping the children get to London. I've misplaced the newspaper clipping...maybe your links will have more reading suggestions. How tragic for those children and their families. In one account I read, when the child grew up and was reunited with his parents...nothing bonded between them...he felt they were strangers. Wouldn't that break your heart!~~~ The cherry tea I am enjoying is 'Rooibos' 'Wild Cherry' tea. It is a South African tea rich with Antioxidents...so they say on the can...quite tasty with sugar. I'm on a diet change and have been feeling wonderful due to it. Its simply cutting way back on sugar and flour. Ever try it? smile. I've heard of this for a long time and thought now is the time to try. Well worth it! I've way more energy except when I over-do it as I've done last week. Hope you are having a cozy day.Its really cold and windy here...no sunshine for the most part. Our wood-burner is very appreciated. I love cozy!Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-22780724873999650392008-12-01T11:42:00.000+00:002008-12-01T11:42:00.000+00:00Dear Winifred ~ ~ A great post about the Jewish ch...Dear Winifred ~ ~ A great post about the Jewish children.

One woman in particular was in more than one photo, and was the only member of her family to survive, due to the fact they pulled her aside and assigned her to work.<BR/><BR/>It amazes me at the cruelty, but it also hurts me to realize that if they'd only known, there were enough of them at that time, to overpower those nazis and run like crazy. But while some humans are cruel beyond belief, the rest of us TRUST and HOPE, sometimes to the point of being annihilated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-54676015485540796052008-12-01T03:28:00.000+00:002008-12-01T03:28:00.000+00:00I'm new here!
