Toot

I have written a few biographies on Wikitree for relatives of one of my uncles, who somehow survived WW2 with his mother, a Dutch Jew. It's not much of a biography, "he was born at The Hague, he got married, they had two kids, then the whole family was murdered by Nazis."

I find that writing this down affects me more than just reading about it. It's somehow personal.

How is it that today, there are families wiped out by Israeli bombs? Have they learned nothing?
