HOLY WEEK AND PASCHA
Fr. Andrew Maginas, ST. CATHERINE, W. Palm Beach, FL

Yet, in a few days, we are saddened at His ...Read Full Text >

The last transport of prisoners arrives from Buchenwald. Of the 5,000 originally destined for Dachau, I was among the 1,300 who had survived the trip. Many were shot, some starved to death, while others died of typhus...
