A 50-Year Memory: Captured

May 11 – In Buenos Aires, 4 Mossad agents abduct fugitive Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who was using the alias "Ricardo Klement". Announced 12 days later by Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion
For the first time I learned of The Holocaust. Just a shade under 12 with a Jewish mother and her whole family. Here came this shivering news of something that had only been whispered about for fear perhaps that to say it out loud would unleash it all again.

Now, with all this time behind us, I fear we may forget. May that not happen.
