Here’s the gist of the story from CNN… young Jew boy imprisoned in a Nazi death camp falls in love with a German girl who risks her life by feeding him apples that she tosses over the camp fence on a daily basis for months. Eventually, he is moved to another concentration camp, but survives until the war’s end. Once freed, he moves to America.

Fast forward more than a decade later and these same two people get set up on a blind date in the Bronx. Over dinner, they discover who each other are, and marry soon thereafter.

They recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

And a big part of my cold, cynical heart just melted.
