Man says he has no clue whatever happened to his mother, father and siblings.

WHEELING -- At 13 years old, Sam Weinreb was snatched by the Nazis in 1942 and and held captive for the next three years.

Weinreb, 82, still tells the story to young people and spoke at Wheeling Park High School Thursday.

He was forced to work at hard labor every day, given barely enough food to survive on. Weinreb said he never thought he would live through it and once was forced to go on a death march.

However, he said the worst part was never learning what happened to his parents, two brothers and little sister.

Sam came to the United States afterward and married a young woman who had also lost her entire family to the Holocaust. The couple has just celebrated their 60th anniversary.

They have a son who is an attorney and a daughter who is a doctor along with one teenage granddaughter.

Weinreb says he has no hatred for anyone although it is a chapter of history that no one should ever forget.

I know Mr. Weinreb personally. My mother worked in his jewelry store when I was younger and he would NEVER talk about what happened to him in the concentration camp because it was so painful. We should not forget the Holocaust. I am glad that he is now sharing his story so that we never forget what happened there. Don't ever think that something like this couldn't happen again! Maybe even here in the USA!

Whether the Holocaust was real or not it doesn't matter.

Still no excuse for the way the Israelis treat the Palestinians to this day!

Israel is the World's Most Extreme Example of Apartheid! You cannot have a Civil Wedding Ceremony in Israel. Palestinians Cannot Run for Government Positions in Israel.

I know how the Jews think, to a Jew any non-jew/gentile are but cattle. I am wise to the ways they're taught from birth. To a Jew, the hired help, "the goy" or plural "the goyim" are nothing but animals in the form of men in the minds of Jews.

Jews do not believe in equal rights for Arabs, or Gentiles. The only reason the USA is in Iraq, is mainly to protect Israel "our welfare state" = Israel. Yet Israel offers no help in Iraq.

We fight and die daily for the state of Israel, and that includes ignorant English Soldiers as well as Americans!

Israel could not exist without the United States, but once the people of the USA get smart and stop coddling and dieing for Israel, our country will be destroyed to the finish.......from within.......by the Evil Federal Reserve Bank!

Once the US $ Dollar loses credibility, finally it WILL CRASH! You cannot have a strong country without a stable, viable currency! We are done, thanks to worthless hypocritical self serving "leaders" and furthermore, America is the LEADER towards the New World Order!

No other nation wages stupid wars like the usa, sorry state of affairs for a sorry nearly broken indebted country. Once we were great but honestly it was all a pack of lies I was being taught since childhood... nothing but lies.

Lies of goodwill and freedom.. all Lies!

Arden, regardless of whether or not you believe the Holocaust occurred - so you are a "denier" - people have the right to discuss it.

I happen to agree with you 100% about the Federal Reserve, but since you added comments about the Fed AFTER your comments about the "hoax" you speak of, you cause readers to ignore the truth in your Fed comments, because they now assume everything you are saying here is bunk. Unless you WANT people to not believe it, and if that is the case, then you are one of those wanting a NWO. Cointelpro?

Carbon-14 tests have proven there never was any poisonous gas used against the jews. There was absolutely no scientific evidence to substantiate these claims.

That's why they call it the "Holohoax" in Europe. Only the Americans are duped into believing these WW-2 historic/fables!

Why do you think they keep PUSHING it on our children in schools! Because they know it's a lie so they have to keep pushing it in hopes if they do it enough someone will believe them.

All the Wars.. WW-1 WW-2 were expertly orchestrated and arranged by the World Banking System to control population and control people, consolidate Wealth in the Puppetmaster's hands!

The USA Federal Reserve Bank is a PRIVATE 12 member banking system / expertly arranged to Siphon the USA Dry and Desolate!

The USA is done.. too many costly wars.. 80% of our Federal Budget goes to Interest % Payments! Do the Math!

Our Worthless, False, Monopoly Money $ Dollar is almost Dead! The USA will Fall due to poor leadership, and the Federal Reserve!

We are almost bankrupt where our dollar loses credibility, then there'll be a Real --- Holocaust,.,.,,.,.,just wait and see!

People should Never forget the Holocaust.

And to be certain, they should repeat the Holocaust for good measure to be sure.

Actually, the poor wretched starving Palestinians have been suffering their own Arab Holocaust ever since the State of Israel was formed back in about 1946 after World War Two.. so my question is:

When will the Palestinian Holocaust End ???

Oh my.. I almost forgot.. Palestinians don't matter, only Jews.
