Talked to my pop when I took him dinner earlier. It was my great grandfather, I am named after him, sort of. Jews are forbidden to have the same name of an ancestor. So, my name, Layne, is named after my great grandfather on grandmother side, Louis and my middle name, Kevin is named after my great grandfather Koleman.
My great was a Russian Jew, not sure what he was doing in Poland. He was first sent to Berkin-Belkin but later sent to to Auschwitz. Not sure if that was because he was die but the nazi's found out he was a tailor and spared him to make uniforms for the nazi's.
My pop remembers Grandfather Koleman but he did not speak English and would just walk around his rose garden in North Philly.
As I am older now, I become more interested in the Holocaust, knowing that I had blood there, how there are tin foil nuts that believe that millions of Jews, gypsy's and others were murdered and that others believe that this could never happen again....
