In honor of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I wanted to share this photo of my grandfather and the men who stood in front of and behind him in line at Auschwitz. 77322, 77323, and 77325. They all managed to survive the holocaust, emigrated to the United States, and stayed in touch. For those curious, 77324 also survived. His name was Morris Blatt and he died in 1999 in Florida.

While it's amazing that your grandfather survived, whenever I see pictures like this I can't help but think of all the people they knew who didn't. The memories of the people lost must have haunted him his entire life. Unbearably sad.
