Remembering Jeffrey Schreier, lost 20 years ago today

[Danmel]

My father was a Holocaust survivor and was friends with many other survivors. Among them were the Schriers whose only son, Jeffrey, worked in the mail room at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center. He had a developmental disability. He had recently married a young woman with a developmental disability.
They survived Auschwitz only to lose their child to a terrorist attack in New York. Life can be unspeakably cruel.

4. I wish we would learn more about the lives lost than reliving

the horrors of that day .

5. Actually today's remembrance WAS more about those lost. Little said about the attack itself.

Any discussion on the actual attack was done by the commentators on TV, not those speaking at the memorials.
