Words could never explain

Monday, April 16 in Oswiecim, Poland the Jewish prayer for the dead echoed across the wooden barracks and barbed wire fences of the former Auschwitz Nazi death camp as thousands young and old from around the world gathered to mourn the victims of the Holocaust. Ironically, on the same day a 76 year old Holocaust survivor, Liviu Librescu, teaching at Virginia Tech saved the lives of his students as he barricaded the classroom door with his body affording them time to escape by jumping out windows before being mortally wounded by the gunman himself.
