Well its April 16 and today is Holocost Remebrance Day. The day to remember the 6,000,000 Jews who perished at the hands of a mad man Hitler. I will be re lighting my candle tonight in the window in honor of the Jews. I had it lite last night becasue last night was the anniversary of the Titanic disaster and I was honoring the 1500 who died aboard it. I am amazed at how few remembered yesterday was the Titanic anniversary and I bet few remember today as Holocost Remebrance Today. Just shows how few people care today. But I remeber and honor both.
