About 50 people from Beatrice church congregations gathered at the Beatrice Mennonite Church on Sunday evening to participate in a Christian PEACE Witness for Iraq event. The event was held to promote and encourage peace. Participants held a vigil as they walked around the block holding lit candles and singing songs. After the vigil, the participants heard scriptures and prayed. The event was held in conjunction with national events held throughout the weekend to note the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war on Monday. Photo by Joelyn Hansen/Daily Sun staff

He tells a good tale!
2.000 people in a room the size of a two-car garage eh?
So, The Nazi's tried to hang Leo, but the rope broke, and Leo survived. So what did the Nazi's do?
Did they shoot him on the spot?
Hang him again?
No.
They forgot about trying to kill Leo, and sent him to the hospital instead!
Does it make me a bad person if I'm not buying this?

I happened upon this article trying to find info on a local holocaust survivor for my son to spend some time with, so that he might learn first-hand about this horrendous time in our world history. I first want to extend to Mr. Fettman my heart-felt "thanks" for being willing to share his story and re-live the pain of his past in hopes that truth and compassion might win in the world. I am shocked and appalled however, that the person allowing comments for submission online was willing to post the two comments submitted by Peter Lifton and Bob Grubman. To call Mr. Fettman's re-counting "unbelievable" and a "good tale" is hateful and the very kind of spirit that allowed such a tragedy to happen in the first place.
Mr. Fettman, thank you for being willing to open up the door to your world so that we might see. May G-d bless you, you are the apple of his eye.
Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem,
