Happy belated birthday, Claude! I see now that I need to be reading your blog every day! Your story is very touching. I am Jewish also; I cannot imagine what it must have been like in Europe during WWII. I think your parents must have been very brave.

Belated birthday wishes; I can’t imagine what everyone went through during those times. How wonderful to have found her last name; it makes it all the more important to record everything, and not leave it all the precarious memory.

Belated birthday wishes - and thanks for such a moving memory. How easy it has been to overlook what risks people so close to one’s own generation were subjected to, and how fragile the boundary of chance can be.

very, very belated good wishes for the coming year, claude. i look forward to more of your remarkable memories. you offer us a window into a time that needs remembering–for so many reasons.

Solange is the name of our french neighbor’s five year old. it was unknown to me; googling brought forward a meaning you’d appreciate, “rare jewel.” yours, naomi

Hi Claude,

I’m Ken’s friend from Alabama- We share Sept. 24th birthdays! I’m a year behind you;-) and also a cancer survivor. I never tire of hearing stories of human kindness, yours especially. BTW, have you seen the German flic called “The Lives of Others”? It’s a great movie about compassion.

I’m glad that your brother remembered the name of your family. I have a brother ten years older than I who also helps me remember things.

I love your blog, especially when I can listen to you in French.

Evelyn
