@BethMooreLPM I believe a common aspect of some Jewish liturgies is the refrain: "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe..."

This story was truly heartwarming. I found it in the CBS archives. A man approaches a CBS reporter in Russia after realizing they are American and shares the story of his captivity. He had been held in a concentration camp alongside American soldiers, separated from them by a large fence.

Each American soldier received five kilos of food from the Red Cross every Friday, but the Germans allowed nothing for the Red Army POWs. They were given only a small amount of soup each day and were constantly starving.

Some U.S. soldiers came up with a plan with the Red Army POWs across the fence to throw food over to the Russian prisoners. The plot was eventually discovered, and the Gestapo brought all 8,000 American soldiers outside and demanded they reveal the names of the Russians involved on the other side. Not a single American opened his mouth or betrayed them.

@amazingmap While Hungarian (magyar) uses Nemet it is a borrowed word as it is not a Slavic language.

The lyukas zászló ("holed flag") of the Hungarian Uprising is a symbol of the events that began on October 23, 1956. It is also a reminder of how public protests can be mishandled and escalatory.
