As usual, you are spot on. I heard about the stumbling stones prior to our visit to Berlin some years ago because a Dutch Jewish friend of mine gave me an article about how her father and his family were being honored/remembered in the Dutch town where they lived prior to gestapo picking them up for deportation and eventual murder. When we were in Holland in the town of Alkmaar I happened to look down and found some “struikel steenen” there too. I love the memorials and it helps you remember what could happen even in this day and age.

We're well, Georgia! And I continue to be glad that you're a reader, especially after you had to endure all those years of my sermons in Wheaton.

Doug, as I was cleaning out old files, I came upon your article for the SENTENAL which I put aside to read "later!" As usual, wonderfully written. I am so glad we have people like yourself who remain our conscience re: humankind's behavior toward each another! These new laws some people are trying to get passed are scary and outright hateful! Thanks for keeping the rest of us "woke!" Hope all your family are well. Georgia H
