I really connected to Daniel's family and was so impressed by his desire to find out what happened to his family.  The story is a sad one that has played out with so man Jewish families that have lost loved ones.  Daniel's quest and his comparisons to the bible renewed my interest in my people's history.  I am indebted to him for that.]]></body>
