Thank you, Mr. Flescher, for telling your story. I am Jewish and will always remember the story my grandfather told me before he passed away. When he was about 12, he and his mother and older sister traveled from New York (he was a first generation American) to Poland to visit his family members, an aunt, an uncle, and a cousin who was his age. This was the mid-late 1930's and he told be all the horrible anti-Semantic comments he received. He was lucky to make it back to the States without being harmed. Unfortunately, his aunt, uncle, and cousin were not so lucky and where killed sometime in the Holocaust. Their names have been lost in our family history after my grandfather died, and it's my goal to find their names and discover what their fates were.

I was wondering if you can tell us about your liberation. What was it liked to be freed? Did you believe it was really over? How long did you stay in Europe? How did you make your way to Miami?

Also, I live about an hour north of Aventura and I remember Holocaust speakers coming to my high school to speak for a week. I hope I saw you then!

Are you talking about Terry?

Hello! I've also been writing for Cracked for about a year and had five articles published! I've stepped away for a few months to concentrate on some other freelance work and applying for jobs, but I'm trying to get back in. However, it's harder than I expected. I feel like I'm out of ideas. Where do you get inspiration for a new article? I feel like mine started out as "I have this one weird fact, let's see if I can find some other weird facts!" but somehow the brain juices are giving me a bit of a writer's block.

Have you been catching up on any of your P&R cast member's new shows? Thoughts on Master of None?

I saw somewhere that parts of "Ron and Leslie" where the last things ever filmed for Parks and Rec. How emotional was everyone that day, considering that the episode itself is one of the most emotional episodes of the show ever?
