I find the older generation that I know who survived the Holocaust have a drive to survive and live longer. My father was the youngest when he passed, almost 95. All his friends who survived lived to their late 90’s.

I’m embarrassed sometimes about how much I take for granted. Reading this story is one of those times. I was embarrassed that after months of wearing a mask, I had never once thought about a deaf person not being able to read my lips if that were necessary. Then, it was heartwarming to realize how the man in line helped the deaf person understand what information was needed. They had worked together to find a solution to his problem. The deaf person then built on that solution to help hundreds of others with the same problem.

I had an older salesman working for us that had been a boy sent to a concentration camp with his family. He had the tattoo and his story was very interesting. As an old guy, he drove a big Cadillac with a baseball bat in the front seat for show from what I could tell. He was a tough old bird with a big heart. He passed away at 93 having a beer and pizza watching football with family in his rec room. His family said they thought he had just fallen asleep as he did take naps in the chair he was in.

It's interesting that you noticed this with this group. I only knew Sam.
