A tragic time in man's history recorded with compelling detail in this brilliant write, James! Wish I knew how many more such "chapters" we would have to endure, but there are never really any winners in war. Love you! Carolyn

This is a very touching tribute, James. Though it is a sad, but truthful look at what kind of evil the human race is capable of, it is beaytifully penned. Yes, we must always remember these atrocities so that we can learn and try to abolish such actions! Well said, my talented friend! Love, Robin
