My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Holocaust Survivor Shares Horrific Stories-- Part 2
Eva Kor continued with her story: "My mom was pulled in one direction and we were pulled in another. Her arms outstretched for us. I never got to say goodbye to her."
Eva continued with the story of her nightmare she endured with her sister. The first day at Auschwitz she was stripped naked and then got her clothes back with a black mark on the back and how she was thankful she didn't get her head shaved like some of the other children did, but within days caught lice and got her head shaved anyway.
She said she was hungry most of the time but quickly learned that if she saved the piece of bread they gave her at night that the barracks rats would eat it.
