I wanted to share an article I just read. We collect pocket knives and wonder sometimes what kind of history it could tell us if it could talk. Here is a story of a man trying to find a little history on his object of collection and finding out more than what he was looking for...

Sunburst,
Thanks so much for sharing that story. You NEVER know what you'll find when searching a knife. That was simply amazing. wt3l

This is an interesting post. Being Jewish I know the story well. From what I've learned there was a reason Hitler allowed this boat full of Jews to leave Germany. It was a "test case", if you will. To see what the world's reaction would be to what he was doing to the Jews in Germany and Poland. When he saw that no country (including the United States) would allow the boat to dock and take the Jews in, he knew then that the world did not care about what he did to the Jews and stepped up his mission toward "THE FINAL SOLUTION"
