Hello Elyse,
My name is Jack Glasheen and I know your mother professionally; she referred me to your website. I have 3 teenage daughters and have not only been very much a part of their interests and activities but also those of their friends. I must say that your effort and the response it has received is amazing. The concept and follow through is as good as any I have ever seen. I am not Jewish but we have very close Jewish family fiends and my family, through our generations in America, has always lived in communities that had a lot of Jewish families. So I am fairly familiar with your culture and traditions. I am 2nd generation from Ireland. I found the stories about your grandfather very interesting and it left me wishing I knew as much about my own grandparent’s journey. Further, the stories were so well told that I feel as if I really now know your family I will forward your link to some friends... Good luck with your wonderful project it’s a great contribution to all society. |

Hey Elyse!
My name is Josh Allred (As indicated by my name slot in the upper left corner, heh)I was in Mr. Elgins homebase last year (2008) I've read through your site and wonder if you've ever been mocked by somebody that claims that the holocaust never happened. Those are people that refuse to believe the horrors of the NAZI party and their doings, if we forget the holocaust, it can happen again. That is why we must push forward when others try to push back. Now that I'm done with my long post-doc like speech, great site, and keep up the good work! |

Dear Elyse,
I was so happy to read all the stories on your website. I went to Rippowam High School and was a good friend of your Aunt Brenda. We were all active in Young Judea, a Zionist Youth Group. I had the good fortune to meet your Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Bert many times. They were both amazing, accomplished people. My mother also escaped from Germany with her parents, my Oma and Opa. They were able to leave Berlin when my Mom was only 5 years old, and settled in New York City. I think it is wonderful that you have the story from your Great-Grandfather, my Oma and Opa never wrote down the details of their trip from Germany through the Netherlands to New York. Good luck with your project! Lisa Bloch Rodwin |

Even though I have no Jewish heritage I am part German I think this is neat that you are trying to preserve this history.Also my grandfather was a pilot in WW2 over the pacific.He passed December,17,2008. |

| Elyse...forgot in the last comment to congratulate you on becoming a Bat-Mitzvah. For my Bat Mitzvah in 2006, I researched Torah scrolls that survived the Holocaust. I would love to share the information I learned...we have our very own scroll here at Temple Israel! Thank you for keeping these stories alive so we never forget. Mazel Tov! |

Elyse,
God bless you for what you are doing. By the Grace of G-d my grandparents left Europe long before the holocost. It is so important to keep the memories of the survivors alive so as to prevent this from happening to future generations. NEVER AGAIN! Bob Stempler |
