While I was young I read a lot of books on this topic and here in Eastern Europe we were especially shown these movies.<br />And even here in Romania there were many people who helped Jewish families hide or run away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645785208371532099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136317338267812281.post-73564784518644570662016-05-17T20:58:33.061+03:002016-05-17T20:58:33.061+03:00Thank you for stopping by,Mae!
