Aliza and Ruti.

Today we headed North to outside of Haifa and Netanya to interview two young lovelies (Aliza, Ruti) of Polish heritage (with 2nd Gen and grandchildren present!) who were rescued by American soldiers in the Train Near Magdeburg story. My heart skipped a beat or two. They were so happy to finally meet me, it was hard to hold back the tears. Kleenex was deployed; they were so excited by our visit, and the professionalism of our great crew.
