2. I doubt that any of us can even conceive
of what it must have been like to live through that horror.

Whenever I hear of the "war on Christians" - trumped up by rwingers pusing a "Christians are being persecuted in America" - I want to scream (and btw, I am a Christian - just not a fundie/politicized/bible is inerrant type of Christian) - prohibiting folks from shoving one religion down the throat of others is *not* persecution. What Ms. Sugar lived was religious persecution. For all of ORielly's bloviating about a "war on Christmas" - there is no comparison between sales people saying "Happy Hollidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and real persecution such as the wiping out of Ms. Sugars parents and the slave labor existence Ms. Sugar had to endure. To try to make a comparison is *disgusting.*
