CNN Holocaust Remembrance report features my Dad’s brother

This interview mentions my uncle Larry Lubetzky - my Dad’s older brother.  I recall how as a child my Dad recounted his liberation by American soldiers.  It was many years later that I learned the platoon that rescued him was composed of all Asian-Americans - Japanese Americans to be specific. 

A few weeks ago my sister uncovered an interview by the Yale Archives of my Dad, from 1987, which I am embarrassed I had never seen, sharing his life’s story, including the dark episode of Dachau.  The video was dubbed into DVD and I made several hundred copies.  If anyone wants one, please reply to this posting, or email me or call our office at +1 212 616 3006 x104 and I will gladly send you a copy - while supplies last.

Change-Maker

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder at an interview about PeaceWorks.  This is HILARIOUS - I don’t understand it, but I love the part when they start poking fun at all our mistakes.  As well as when the guy shows up with the title "Non Style."  What is that?  Definitely lost in translation!

Change-Maker was the first episode on a Social Entrepreneurship Series by NHK Japan, which is like the BBC of Asia.
