Today is International Holocaust Remembrabce Day. Typically, its here and gone before I even realize its happening. Today someone reminded me so I'm posting a blog that i had been meaning to for awhile.
This is Frank. I met him while doing a little video work for the Holocaust Speakers Bureau.

He's one of the lucky ones who managed to get out of germany. When he was eight years old the situation for Jewish people in Oppeln Germany was very ominous indeed. Franks family decided to emigrate to the US. Luckily they were able to.
Frank was only allowed to take one thing with him. He decided to take his companion, his teddy bear.
Guess how old the bear in the photo is...
