Full title is Back to the Bunker: How a life-risking act by a Christian family during the Holocaust saved a family and built a thriving community a world away

An interesting, heart-warming story for this Monday morning. I found this sentence particularly encouraging: ""But the Almighy listens to every prayer of a tzaddik [truly righteous person], and about 20 years later it was fulfilled."

Bump for later.

Thanks for posting.

I found this quote interesting:
"Today, 68 years later, Mr. Truska finds it easy to articulate why his family risked their own lives to save Jews, even if the answer is difficult for the listener to comprehend.

"We really didn't think we were doing anything so special," Mr. Truska explained last week, as his granddaughter interpreted. "Our family had an appreciation for life and we wanted to save lives. We liked people and we didn't differentiate between one person and another. We felt if we didn't save these people, then even more people could die. We also realized that if these people could be deported to die, the same thing could happen to people like us, under different circumstances."

This mirrors what so many of the righteous gentiles said, in essence it was the right thing to do.
