Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Ummm Wow

Concentration Camp Survivor Gives Money To Victims of Hurricane Katrina

The anonymous donor turned up at a US diplomatic office and resented an envelope with 1,000 euros (about $1,240) for hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

It was a way of repaying a debt to the United States for being liberated by American soldiers from a concentration camp and US medical care more than 60 years ago, Sean McCormack, the State Department spokesman, said Wednesday in relating the incident.

The donor was 90 years old, but that is all McCormack would say by way of identification. “This is a person who is not seeking any publicity for this act – which in the time we live makes it even more extraordinary,” McCormack said.

There really isn’t anything more to add to this.
