Mr. Lesser,

My name is Evan. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada as well. I recently watched the PBS special on Remembering the Holocaust and found it to be an informative piece on the horrors of that time period. I have a Jewish backround and lots of family that lived in Germany during that time that were killed as well in the Holocaust. Luckily my great grandparents made it through Ellis Island and were not harmed, but for the millions that died it really astonishes me at how cruel people can be. I can't imagine how it was for you to see all of those deathly horrors taking place in front of your eyes. Honestly I admire you for being able to keep telling the story to inform those who do not know, it is a very powerful thing to do. I am deeply sorry about what was done to your family. I am currently in High School, and despite some people that may be anti-semitic at my school I do honor my Jewish backround openly. I thank you for taking time to read my email to you. I'm sure that most of what happened is very hard to think of years later, but thank you for telling your story. I am deeply appreciative that I was able to hear it and learn more.

Thank You,
-Evan
