Sunday Bittersweet - 178 Pre-Holocaust Family Pictures Returned To Owners

Sigh:

A month ago, on the evening of his mother's death, Pini Beeri received a phone call from a stranger. "I have something that will interest you," said the stranger, who identified himself as Zvi Lander. "Can we meet?" Beeri apologized that he could not, his mother was on her deathbed. Indeed, she died six hours later. Lander arrived at the house between the funeral and the shiva, and handed over an album of 178 previously unseen photographs: photos of the murdered family of Beeri and his sister, Riki Ariel. At home, their mother, Pearale Boden Berezowsky, had only one picture of her parents. Suddenly, Beeri and Ariel possessed pictures not only of their grandparents, but their aunts and uncles (nine siblings, including their mother).

Never again. (h/t: MR reader Efrat)
