Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. He was such an inspiration. May Israel be worthy of the sacrifices of the Holocaust survivors.

A piece of history that breaks and warms the heart at the same time. Dugo Day went on my calendar last year. Thanks again.

I have always enjoyed your writing and am almost always more enlightened after I have read, than before. But this? Incredible. Dugo? Incredible. Your writing of him and of it all? Also incredible. Thank you so much.
