HE DIED A HERO 

Liviu Librescu died yesterday in Blackburg, Virginia during the massacre that has been so much in the news the past day. Professor Librescu was a 76 year old, Romanian-born Holocaust survivor who lived for 25 more years in communist Romania and then immigrated to Israel. He moved to the US to teach at Virginia Tech (presumably on an H-1B visa) where he was an honored professor at the premiere engineering college. Professor Librescu died trying to block the door to his classroom and apparently his efforts allowed students more time to get out of the building. Yesterday was Holocaust Memorial Day and perhaps the somber day was on Professor Librescu's mind when he sacrificed his life to save his students. How many of us would have done the same? Rest in peace, Professor.
