What the readers are saying:
Mazel-tov, Mort! You had an important story to tell, and you did it in print and film. Good for you! I am often in touch with Mel. The Leitners were important people in Zaglembie. My Dad used to live in a “Lajtner building” in Dabrowa Gornicza. Wolf Lajtner was a heroic doctor in a number of the forced labor camps. I wish you every success with this production.— Hannah
Gosh you should be so proud!— Elaine
