When Diet Eman died, at 99, just two years ago, both the New York Times and the Washington Post wrote long celebratory obituaries. Have a look for yourself.
Tomorrow night, Saturday, September 11, at 7:30, a readers theater presentation of Things We Couldn't Say will be presented at Unity Christian High School. Tickets will be available at the door. All proceeds will go to the Veterans Honor Flights.
The most powerful story of the 20th century was the story of the Second World War, but the best story of the 20th century was the stories of selfless heroism of those men and women in occupied Europe who risked their lives to save other men and women, people they didn't know, from the Holocaust.
Diet Eman died two years ago, but her story lives on.
As it should.
As it must.

A finge benefit of the play was getting a facebook massage from Jelle in Friesland.
His grandmother and Heine's grandmother were cousins.
Because Manfred also did a great job of honoring local veterans, I am part of a token effort to preserve his vintage house as a gathering place.
thanks,
Jerry
