Listening to a Dauchau Survivor - Oct, 11th, 2018

Carol and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to hear live and in person the personal experience of one of the Nazi World War II Concentration camps; that camps name was Dauchau Germany. The gentleman we were listening to was Bernard Mark's. This Dachau survivor spoke at the Mather community center. He talked about making ME262's at the age of 13. One of the encouraging things about an event like this, is 1/3 of the room is filled with kids of all ethnic backgrounds that though they may have been to young to vote, but not to young to learn, learn about the mistakes of human kinds  past.


Clearly the room was standing room only. As you can see, we got there so late that we had to stand during the 1 and a half hour talk (Carol was next to the TV across the room), but we would not have missed this talk for anything. We are looking forward to next weeks talk by a lady who is a survivor from a US interment camp in world war II.

It is so important to attend events like these and they are right in our own back yard. Also, these events are free and held at a wonderful and rejuvenated former train station that we are truly lucky to have here in the city of Rancho Cordova.

Safe travels all!

Eric and Carol Anderson
