Dear Mrs. Walker:
I am a Holocaust Survivor and although I did not know your husband
Robert, I did hear about him all the way in the backwaters of the Bible
belt in Tennessee. I understand he
was deeply religious Christian and as
a Jew I wish to thank you and him for
his deep commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. Surely he has been a Righteous Gentile, a true
freind of Israel.
May his dear love and memory be a
source strenth and comfort to you.
