Review: Holocaust Memoir: Hank Brodt -A Candle And A Promise by Deborah Donnelly

I received this book yesterday via e-mail from Amsterdam Publishers, and I spent all of last evening reading from beginning to end.

I know I have many friends, social networking friends and followers who are interested in learning more about the Holocaust, but are unsure as to where to start, or are hesitant to read about or see photos of mass execution, slaughter and such horrid mistreatment done to humans by humans.

No matter how wrong or horrid, history must be told. Lessons need to be learned, memories need to be shared, so nothing like this ever happens again.

I highly recommend this book if this time in History interests you.

Hank tells his story to his youngest daughter, and she transcribes it by pen and paper. He did not want it audio recorded. His daughter is trained in trauma, so she was supportive and careful with her father during…

Atlanta Mom Of Four Addicted To Herion Left Dead On The Side Of The Road

The search is on for the person(s) who killed a 26-year-old mother of four, wrapped her in a rug and left her on the side of the road.

Morgan Oller was found dead in Atlanta on Aug. 10., but Oller’s mother believes Morgan’s heroin lifestyle is what killed her.

Marijuana in middle school eventually led to meth in high school and Oller’s life spiraled out of control from there.

“She was trying to fit in,” her mother said. “as hard as it is to lose my baby, I don’t want somebody else to lose theirs.”

Damn, say no people. Sad part is the ones left to suffer the most are the loved ones.

Bronx Teacher Beats Up Student Who Owed Him Money For Weed

In today’s “WTF news,” a Bronx teacher is accused of beating up a teenager whom he was planning to score $4K worth of kush from. The teen instead took the money and blew it. No pun intended.

Via NY Post:

Kevin Pope, 48, also stole the teen’s iPhone and wallet and threatened to sexually assault his mother if he didn’t get his money back, the sources said.

“I will kill you if I don’t get my money!” Pope allegedly told the student after pummeling him. “I want my money in a month!”

Pope, a science teacher at the John V. Lindsay Wildcat Academy in Hunts Point, was arrested at the school Friday morning and charged with assault and robbery in the attack a day earlier.

Pope had asked students around the school back in June if they knew a drug dealer — and they put him in touch with the teen, who promised he could score a large stash of drugs from his contact in Manhattan, sources said.
Pope gave the kid $4,000 for the hefty purchase, the sources said.

The unidentified teen told cops he met the dealer near Central Park but was told that the quantity of drugs he was seeking would cost $7,000, sources said.

The student then blew off the transaction and spent the money, according to the sources.

Wow. Just wow.
