108 and 108,000

There have been 108,000 views of Kuvasz Klips as of this date. But more importantly, we honor this man who died recently at age 108.

Georges Loinger was born in Strasbourg in 1910 and became a  member of the French Resistance during the war.

He was serving with the French army in 1940 when he was taken prisoner by the Germans and sent to a prisoner of war camp.

Because the talented athlete had blond hair and blue eyes, the Germans did not suspect he was Jewish and he managed to escape the camp and return to France.

He then joined the Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants (OSE), a Jewish children's aid society.
