"This is the liberation in Hanover," he says, pointing to the camp in Germany he was in when the war ended. Five men are staring at the camera, their faces gaunt, but smiling. He explains the photo was taken by an American soldier.
He was at synagogue last Saturday morning, when news of a shooting at a different temple — Tree of Life — raced through the building.

This is so sad to know here in 2018, we have hate groups and people who would commit these kinds of atrocities.
