August 19, 2009 – Bureau of Lost Relatives

Whenever I’m in the car between 4-5 I listen to the daily radio show of the Bureau of Lost Relatives. This has been going on since the Holocaust, and there are still people calling up looking for their families. I listen – but I’ve never had the nerve to call. Even though I’ve been looking off and on for the past few years for some sign that a cousin might be alive, I have so many questions I don’t know where to begin. There are probably thousands like me. What kind of a country can this be that has the need for this program.
