    Let's not just be human beings, let us be kind, loving, empathetic human beings. Thank you for sharing your story.
  • My grandmother came to the United States in 1905 and left her parents and 13 older brothers. She tried to get her parents here but didnโ€™t have enough money to pay the right people. She got sporadic letters then they stopped. None of them or their families survived or they would have contacted her. I have tried to locate any information about them but never got any leads at all. Now that I am 70 it isnโ€™t much of a priority in my life, but I am sad knowing I lost an entire family because people did not know how to be human beings.

    What a Wonderful and insightful woman! How traumatic her journey to freedom from the Nazis and persecution, started. Nearly drowning, losing her mother and brother, and everything she held near and dear to her.. and no one was giving her, a lone young girl any emotional support.. including the Jewish Zion's group?? THAT was so emotionally (and actually) mentally and morally Tragic! Its no wonder she broke away from her (birth) religion. Her father wasn't with her when she needed him most, and she needed emotional support as much as any Holocaust survivor did, just as the young 'hidden' boys & girls survivors needed extra physical and emotional support. That the convent sisters opened their domain as refuge and their arms of welcome to support and care for her, was what she needed. And it was a Wonderful thing. Her father crying, even his anger was probably just frustration, and guilt feelings, being as he lost his wife and son and now his daughter (in a different way), and wasn't able to be with her when she needed him. No doubt he felt responsible for the choice she made. (Not his choice). As I said, a Wonderful, insightful woman.. her last words said it best. "Being Human", being humane, to one another, and respecting one another as humans, is the most important thing.. not what color or religion or anything else is as important. We are all humans, we all want to be noteworthy, and respected, and acknowledged as Humans. God Bless Sister Regine
  • What happened to her elder sister? Not a word about her after her wedding
  • @mistyrose3042
    Though we should have learned the importance of love and peace from history such as this, but sadly this has not happened. Big and mighty are supressing the weak, , there are wars going on, selfishness is the order of the day, nowadays. This all is happening simply because we have forgotten to be human beings

  • How tragic that you never took the opportunity to really learn about Judaism, historic Torah Judaism. How tragic that you did not study your Jewish heritage from an authentic Jewish and religious perspective. All the spirituality that you seek, you will find in Torah Judaism. It is never too late for a Jew to find his or her way back. You can contact Chabad, Aish HaTorah, or other Torah organizations to help you learn more about your Jewish heritage. You can also watch the videos on the site - Jews for Judaism. Michael Skobac and others on the site explain things very clearly. Belief in Jesus might be permissible for non-Jews. For Jews, to believe in Jesus is a tragedy, causing great pain to the Jewish soul.

  • Luke 1:26-35 [26]Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, [27]to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28]And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." [29]But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. [30]The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. [31]And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. [32]He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; [33]and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end." [34]Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" [35]The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
