knowing who I am

as i casually and narcistically blog my thoughts, moans and aspirations about who i am and who i want to be, it rarely, if ever, occurs to me that to know who i am --- who my parents are, what their families were like, my family background/heritage/legacy, whatever--- is a luxury not shared by everyone.

Yaakov Shai or JAKOV SCHENKOLEWSKI is my friend's father in law. he is a holocaust survivor who literally doesn't know anything about his family. He doesnt know his parents names or even his exact age.

read his profile.
forward it to anyone who might have a lead.
or just meditate for a minute about everything you know about yourself and be grateful
