Aaron's visit

Today, Aaron Elster, Holocaust survivor from Sokolow, came to see the town with a group from Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. The group was about 35 people (who later went on to Tykocin). We went with Aaron and Susan Abrams - CEO of Illinois Holocaust Museum - at the cemetery to see the grave of Mr and Ms Gorski who saved Aaron's life.
