it is intended to include a special report on genealogy, a review of family matters and a diary
of forthcoming events.
Special feature— The Second World War & the Holocaust Everyone of more than middle
years was involved in this, the greatest calamity of modern times. Some of the family were in
combat; others served at home; some were taken prisoner; a few were obliged to hide from
murderous adversaries; one or two bore the burden of treating with that foe to save others. No
part of the family is free from loss; by virtue of our survival to this day we have won the greater
victory. The next issue of the Gazette will publish memoirs of the family’s experiences.
