This photo is from "French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial" by Serge Klarsfeld. It's a huge doorstop of a book containing whatever photos and information that remain of the 11,000 French-Jewish children who were murdered by Nazis like Klaus Barbie (who Klarsfeld helped put on trial).

The number of beautiful, innocent faces in this book is overwhelming. The book cost me $85 but I didn't care - I needed to remember those faces."

All that is known of Anny is what is on her identification card, that she was Jewish, had blonde hair, blue eyes, a rosy complexion and was of moderate height, and that she had a cute little-girl handwriting.

This information is from the book "French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial" by Serge Klarsfeld, which is a comprehensive collection of photos and information of the 11,000 French-Jewish children who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the innocent lives lost in the Holocaust.

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF THE LAST COMMANDER OF ONE GERMAN PANTHER TANK.

On this day in 1945, Americans capture the city of Cologne, Germany. The town had already been shattered by years of aerial raids. Now, as World War II was coming to an end, Germans began to flee before the oncoming American tanks. Yet the commander of one German Panther tank refused to go. Instead, he made a last stand in front of Cologne Cathedral, one of the few buildings to remain mostly intact. The Panther tanks were heavier and tougher than the American Sherman tanks. Indeed, that Panther soon knocked out a pair of M4 Sherman tanks, killing or wounding several of our soldiers. But Americans had another, newer tank: the Pershing. One crew was nearby and swung into action. Its commanding officer hoped to attack the Panther from a side street before the Germans knew what was coming. The move was nearly fatal. Inside the German tank, the crew sensed that something wasn’t right. The tank’s turret was turned so that its muzzle was aimed at the side street. Just then, the Pershing came ...

WHO IS THE WORST PERSON TO EVER LIVE ON THIS PLANET?

I vote for Danny Immens. I’ll describe his story, and let you decide. The boy on the left was one of his victims. Thursday, June 24, 1999. For you and me, this was a Thursday like most others. But for 12-year-old Steve Vissers, it would be his very last. And it would end in agony. (If that is the word.) Together with his younger brother, he was riding his bicycle in the park when the man hit him. His mother had forbidden them to ride beyond the bridge, but the boys had decided to go just a little further — what could go wrong, right ? And then the man had hit his bike with his scooter. Nobody was hurt, but the man insisted to drive Steve to a doctor, just in case. Steve refused — twenty years later, his brother Sven would say that it was immediately obvious that something was wrong with the man — and suddenly there was a knife, the man forced Steve on his scooter, and drove away. Steve turned his head, and waved to his brother. And then they were gone. It was the very last time that Sv...
