Stunning post and I so fear the world is doomed to repeat it over and over. We just seem to be wired that way. What a photograph !
Too often one throws the numbers around and forgets that there were real people behind the statistics. I have always found this image striking because it forces us to see World War 2 as it touched one family.

Bob, I hope you have been well. It is so important never to forget the lessons of the twentieth century.
