Town of Brookhaven looks to new study to resolve water quality issues

PAGe A5

The incumbents won big on Suffolk County’s North Shore this Election Day, with only a couple real upsets at the county and town levels. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) handily won a second term at the helm against his Republican challenger, lawyer Jim O’Connor, with 57 percent of the vote. Bellone thanked many people for his victory and also thanked his opponent for a “good race.” “Tonight the people of Suffolk County delivered a mandate — to advance the issues we talked about in this campaign,” he said, at the Democratic Election Night headquarters in Hauppauge. “To continue the reform government so that we can protect taxpayers, make government more efficient and effective. To reverse the decades of decline that we have seen in water quality so that we can protect this precious natural resource for ourselves and future generations.” He vowed that he would work

hard for the voters. “To the people of Suffolk County: I want to thank you for the confidence you placed in me and this incredible team of legislators. I can guarantee you we will repay that confidence by working hard every single day to make progress on the issues that matter to you and to your families. We may celebrate a little bit tonight but that work begins tomorrow.” Though Bellone was the clear winner early on, O’Connor said he was proud of his campaign. “I think we talked about the issues that need to be talked about here on Long Island,” he said. Despite the results, the challenger enjoyed himself: “I love this. … In America we run for office, we put our ideas forward and we let the people decide.” In the Suffolk County Legislature, incumbents from

Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington towns won re-election, one of them by a razor-thin margin: Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who represents the 6th District, was leading her challenger by just one vote after the polls closed. It was not immediately clear if absentee ballots would tilt the scales in the favor of Republican candidate Steve Tricarico, a Brookhaven Town deputy highway superintendent. But Anker said Tuesday night that she felt “cautiously optimistic.” Tricarico felt more positive. “I’m feeling very confident,” he said before results were in. “This shows … that people are looking for a change. That’s what I’ve been offering.” According to Tricarico, Republican absentee ballots outnumbered those of the Democrats, which he said boosts

his confidence. But Suffolk County Democratic Party Chairman Rich Schaffer was calling it in the other direction: “Sarah Anker — mark my words — in about two weeks will be a newly re-elected legislator.” Anker said her election demonstrates that each vote counts. Asked what could have led to such a close race, the legislator said she’s got the political cards stacked against her as a Democrat representing a largely Republican district. “Most political strategists have never understood how I won it the past three times, much less this fourth time,” she said. “But I feel it’s because the people appreciate what I do. They’re looking for leadership.” From there, it was smooth sailing. Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), the 5th District legislator, beat Republican challenger Donna Cumella, of Port Jefferson Station, with 63 percent of the vote. Despite her loss, Cumella stayed positive and said she wouldn’t let this year’s election deter her from Continued on page A9

His team, the PJ Dragons of Pirates Cove, prepared for three months. “I’ve never done this before, but I always love to try new things,” said Veselovsky when asked what made him participate in the event with no previous rowing experience. “We met every Tuesday for three months to practice. It was hard to learn, but we worked hard.” Their hard work paid off when the PJ Dragons won the race by ninetenths of a second — a photo finish.

Citing recent bacteriological surveys, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced emergency regulations to change the designation of underwater shellfish lands in Suffolk county. Shellfish harvesting will be closed or limited to particular months in approximately 1,844 acres of bays and harbors in Brookhaven, Huntington, Islip, Smithtown, Riverhead, Southampton, Southold, East Hampton and Oyster Bay, to comply with state and national standards to protect public health. Through the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, states are required to conduct routine water quality sampling in shellfish harvesting areas. Failure by a state to comply with these national water quality-monitoring protocols could lead to a prohibition of the sale of shellfish products in interstate commerce. The DEC’s analyses of water quality in these areas showed increased levels of fecal coliform bacteria. The increased bacteria indicates that shellfish harvested from these areas have the potential to cause human illness if consumed. Bacteria can enter the waters from a variety of human, animal, cesspool and storm water sources. The DEC is working with local governments in Suffolk County on major projects to improve water quality in the region, an effort that will reduce discharges of bacteria and nitrogen. The DEC will work with partners to track down the bacteria sources and oversee mandated local efforts to address illicit discharges of sewage into storm sewer systems, while also continuing to evaluate sources of bacteria in an effort to resolve the issue. The DEC’s emergency regulations will change the designation of the affected shellfish areas to “uncertified,” or closed, for the harvest of clams, mussels, oysters and scal-

lops, either year-round or seasonally. In Mount Sinai Harbor in Brookhaven Town, approximately 200 acres will be reclassified as closed for the harvest of shellfish during the period May 1 to Oct. 31. In Stony Brook Harbor, approximately 300 acres shall be reclassified as closed from May 15 through Oct. 31, to closed instead from May 1 through Dec. 31, for the harvest of shellfish. In Cold Spring Harbor, approximately 99 acres shall be designated as closed during from May 1 through Oct. 15, for the harvest of shellfish. For more information about shellfish safety and New York’s role in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, visit the DEC’s website. The emergency regulations adopting the changes are effective immediately. Additional information may also be obtained by contacting the DEC’s Shellfisheries office at (631) 444-0492.

Three Village congregation celebrates 50 years By Giselle Barkley

In 1965, a small group of families placed a notice in The Village Times Herald to encourage interested residents to join the new Reform Jewish Congregation. Two years later, the congregation transitioned from working out of the Setauket Neighborhood House to working at its new building, Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook. Fifty years later, the building, its workers and congregants celebrated the Temple’s 50th from Friday Oct. 23 to Sunday Oct. 25. The festivities started with a potluck dinner at sundown as well as a special service. Alan Goodis served as the entertainment during the celebration. The weekend also included a dessert reception and a Golden Gala. But the celebration isn’t only about celebrating another year older but also about celebrating the Temple’s founders, taking a stroll down memory lane and acknowledging the Temple beyond the celebration for the Temple’s 50th year. “It’s really about what we do all year long and how we behave,” Rabbi Sharon Sobel said about the Temple. In the past 50 years, the Temple established a food pantry had food and blood drives and helped give back to the community with events like Mitzvah Day, which former Board of Trustees President Iris Schiff described as a day where members of the Temple do a good deed for members of the community. In the past, congregates and individu-

als who work at the Temple helped build a kitchen on the Shinnecock Reservation according to Schiff. Schiff also said the Temple held a special Mitzvah Day for the adults with disabilities who visit the Temple once or twice a week to help organize the food pantry, file documents, polish areas of the Temple’s sanctuary. According to Schiff these individuals are called “interns” at the Temple. Sobel, who has served as the Temple’s rabbi since last year, made the suggestion to hold a Mitzvah Day in honor of their “interns.” Not only do they help the Temple, but also some of these interns gained enough experience helping the institution that they have acquired stable jobs themselves. According to Schiff, who joined the Temple in 1975, the day was a special moment for the parents of these “interns.” “Their parents were crying because... it was the first time ever...their children were honored for being terrific and for helping,” Schiff said. “They had never been acknowledged before because they are people with disabilities.” The “interns” and the individuals at the Shinnecock Reservation aren’t the only people the Temple helped or intend to help on the Island. Mitzvah day is an annual event for the Temple. This year, the Temple held its 15th Mitzvah Day on Sunday, May 17. Next year, the Temple is holding the event on May 16. Schiff also added that people in the community who are not necessarily part of the Temple are also recognizing the Temple as an im-

portant part of the community. Several business donated money to the Temple in celebration of its 50th year — the money, as well as other donations and money acquired from the membership fee, helps the Temple stay afloat. Schiff mentioned there’s been a drop in church attendance regardless of the religion. Sobel added that currently the Temple has 330 units — families, couples and singles — who are members of the Temple. She added that former members come back for special events like the Temple’s anniversaries among other events. Despite this, members of the Temple remain excited and pleased about their accomplishments.

“We’re excited [for the 50th anniversary celebration] because we feel proud of what the Temple has done all through the years and what it represents in the community,” Sobel said. Regardless of attendance and the changes in rabbis in the past 50 years, Schiff added that the Temple has remained the same. “What hasn’t changed is this organization. We have congregants who are genuine. They come here with really good caring hearts,” Schiff said. “To me that is what religion should really be about — doing unto others. If everybody lived by that golden rule, this [world] would be a wonderful place.”

Brookhaven takes on study to improve water quality By Giselle Barkley

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said it’s time to wake up when it comes to Long Island’s water. Up until 10 years ago, Brookhaven residents could gather clams and oysters from bodies of water like the Setauket Harbor. But that’s not the case now, according to the Supervisor, who remarked on the closing of Mount Sinai Harbor for shell fishing. “If that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is,” Romaine said. In light of Brookhaven’s declining water quality, on Tuesday, Oct. 27, the supervisor announced that the Town of Brookhaven would take on a study that will help officials pinpoint the sources of water contamination, starting with the Setauket Harbor. Romaine said the harbor was small enough for the town to examine and clean once they receive the results next year. Romaine said the town planned on looking at the pipes leading to the harbor, road runoff, and all drains that run to the harbor. In response to this, the town hired Cornell Cooperative Extension to conduct this study and to use DNA testing to help identify the sources of water pollution.

The Town of Brookhaven and Highway Department are examining the sources of setauket Harbor’s poor water quality through an extensive study by Cornell Cooperative extension.

While high levels of nitrogen were identified in the water, Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said nitrogen could come from various sources, including leaching from underground septic systems, wild and domesticated animal feces and fertilizers, among other sources. Last year, Losquadro said his department finished reconstructing the sea wall along Shore Road in Setauket by removing the concrete slabs that were used in the past to construct the wall. He added

that the concrete released chemicals into the water, which further affected the water quality. Town officials said they intended to continue the study across multiple seasons, especially in the winter months, when people use fewer fertilizers and when less wild and domestic animals are out and about. Setauket Harbor and Mount Sinai Harbor, which includes Cedar Beach, are two of several impacted waterways on the Island. According to Romaine, Moriches Bay and the Great South Bay

are also impacted. “I’m greatly concerned because each year the waterways surrounding Brookhaven Town and Long Island have been declining,” Romaine said. “Many of our harbors and parts of out tributaries are considered impaired.” Neither the town nor the highway department will know how much cleaning Setauket Harbor’s waters will cost until after Cornell Cooperative Extension conducts its study, Romaine said. The hope is that they will identify the sources of contamination before the town’s 2017 budget is approved. The town isn’t only working with Losquadro, but also with members of the Setauket Harbor Task force led by George Hoffman, Moriches Bay Project and Friends of Bellport Bay. Romaine also added that those who settled on the Island would not be impressed with Long Island’s declining water quality. “The town was founded in 1655 [and] it was Setauket Harbor that the settlers ... came to start the first European settlement in Brookhaven Town,” Romaine said. “I’m sure if they were here today, they would weep at the fact that the waters are so impaired — you can’t eat any of the shellfish from the water.”

Astrophysics Professor Michael Inglis and Associate Professor of Physical Science Sean Tvelia recently captured two stunning, out-of-this-world images — a photo of the moon and another of the Ring Nebula, which is some 2,300 light-years away, and the Andromeda galaxy — from Suffolk County Community College’s stateof-the-art observatory. A light-year is equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year, which is nearly six trillion miles; that’s a 6 with 12 zeros! The College’s Observatory, on the

Universal Pre-Kindergarten students took a on hands on approach and reconstructed the “Five Little Pumpkins” nursery rhyme.

Building Halloween excitment Middle Country Central School District’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten program is trading tricks and treats for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Kim Hanson’s full-day pre-kindergarten class recently took a scientific

approach on the children’s nursery rhyme entitled, “Five Little Pumpkins.” Students worked together to use building blocks to engineer an effective “gate” for the “five little pumpkins” to sit upon, in accordance with the rhyme.

Ammerman Campus in Selden, is housed under a 20.5-foot-rotating dome. Suffolk County Community College now has one of only five observatories in our county, and one of the largest. The others are located at Stony Brook University, Custer Institute in Southold, Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport and in Montauk. Astronomers using the new telescope record what they are seeing through the college’s CCD camera, equipped with filters that meet astronomical research standards.

Tricks and treats at Harvest Day Festival The brisk fall weather and colorful foliage provided the perfect scenery for Lake Grove’s Annual Harvest Day Festival, which took place this past Saturday. In anticipation of Halloween, the community ran its yearly seasonal celebration for families and their young trick or treaters. Children from all over the community came in costume and enjoyed the activities the event had to offer, including a Halloween costume contest,

pumpkin carving/decorating, an apple hunt, hay rides, a petting zoo, refreshments and candy giveaways, of course! Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) took part in the event’s festivities and said this about the fair’s success, “It is marvelous to see so many young candycrazed children enjoying the activities this great fair has to offer; there are so many wonderful hardworking people who did a great job in putting this fair together.”

Wolverines come up short in quest for county crown Field Hockey

By Bill landon

Despite a scoreless battle after 30 minutes of field hockey action, it was Ward Melville sophomore midfielder Kate Mulham’s goal, scored with 8:31 left in regulation, that was the game-winner for the No. 1-seeded Patriots over No. 2

Newfield, for the Suffolk County Class A title Monday evening at Dowling College’s Athletic Complex. The first goal of the game came nine minutes into the second half, when Ward Melville sophomore Kerri Thornton crossed the ball to freshman Lexi Reinhardt, who smacked it in for the 1-0 lead. “Kerri [Thornton] brought it up field” Reinhardt said. “I was just there to hit it in.” Neither team faced each other during the regular season, so the Patriots (13-1) were seeing the Wolverines (12-2) for the first time. Although the time of possession favored Ward Melville, Newfield pressed for all 60 minutes, forcing the Patriots to earn every move. Ward Melville junior Kiera Alventosa said she knew her team would have their hands full with their opponent. “We couldn’t let up at all against them — they came at us hard,” she said. “On offense, we passed well, we were looking at our lanes. We were strong defensively; they weren’t getting through us.” With 17:40 left to play, Newfield made it a new game when senior forward Maggie Finley rocked the box with an assist from her younger sister, Abby, a freshman midfielder. Ward Melville head coach Shannon

Watson said the journey to the championship round wasn’t easy. “It’s been quite an emotional road — we were down 4-1 in our last game, but our kids battled back, and it shows how determined they are,” Watson said. “To be here is wonderful, but it just wasn’t enough for them. They wanted to make sure that they had a solid win tonight.” That solid win came when Mulham received the ball from Thornton and drove her shot to the back of the cage for the 2-1 lead. “I expected them to be good — they’re the No. 2 seed,” Thornton said. “So we had to come out with great intensity to keep our momentum.” Ward Melville will face Massapequa for the Long Island Class A title on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Dowling College. “I’ll let them take a day to let it soak in and enjoy the win,” said the coach. “Then it’s back to practice and we’ll continue to

running for the same position in the future. She said she is now “a little bit more educated with the political arena.” About her victory over that Republican, Hahn said, “I’m really gratified by the confidence the community has shown in me and I very much appreciate it and I plan to work just as hard as I’ve worked in the last four years.” Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma), the 4th District legislator, and the 12th District’s Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) were effectively unopposed for re-election and secured their next terms. “I’m ecstatic,” Muratore said. “Maybe we can bring some of our ideas to the table. ... We’re about doing the right things to people.” Brookhaven Town saw its supervisor, Ed Romaine (R), and its highway superintendent, Dan Losquadro (R), re-elected easily — Romaine won 72 percent of the votes against Democratic challenger Douglas Dittko and Losquadro beat out his own Democratic opponent, Jason Kontzamanys, with 69 percent of the voters’ support. Romaine called his landslide victory “encouraging” and Losquadro said, “I really feel that this is a validation of the work that we’ve been doing in the town.” “It’s such a big department and, really, for the fundamental services that people expect from their tax dollars are that their roads are safe, cleared of snow and debris, and I’m very excited to be given the opportunity to continue to do that work.”

The three incumbents running for reelection to the Brookhaven Town Board on the North Shore were returned to their seats. Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) beat Republican challenger Ed Garboski, the president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association. She had 56 percent of the vote to his 44 percent. “I worked really hard,” she said Tuesday night. “The community came together.” She has no small task ahead of her. If all of the election results stand, she will be the only Democrat on the Town Board next year, after her effectively unopposed North Shore colleagues Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) won re-election. “I’m kind of speechless, which isn’t normally the case for me,” Bonner said about winning by a large margin. “I’m super, super excited to get started, move forward. I can’t wait to get to work tomorrow.” LaValle called his own win an “honor.” “I just want to keep doing good things for the people of the town and making the town the best place it can possibly be,” she said. About his defeat, Vetter said, “The message is clear: The town didn’t want me. … Apparently the town is satisfied with what they have.” Earlier in the night he had said, “If I lose and it’s tight, I might try again. If I get clobbered, I’m not gonna do it again.” Rohma Abbas, Giselle Barkley, Phil Corso, Victoria Espinoza, Desirée Keegan, Kevin Redding and Eric Santiago contributed reporting.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Stop harming our children

To The ediTor: The school year has begun and I have recently been dealing with three very bright teenagers. All three have taken enough advanced placement courses to be accepted, directly from high school, into a college sophomore year. All three are so stressed that they are receiving psychiatric care. One of the three has spoken of suicidal thoughts. This one has also considered the option of taking a fourth SAT test. What are we doing to these kids and why are we doing it? I think I may know.

We have guidance counselors, teachers and parents who have absolutely no concept of the real world. We have corporate human resources personnel who are incapable of conducting a meaningful interview so they rely solely on “paper” records (“He/she graduated from super university, so how was I to know he/she was a dud?”). We have the university admission departments that encourage guidance counselors to send more and more applicants so as to boost their reject percentages and thus make their schools appear more desirable. Then we have the testing organizations whose singular goal appears to be increased testing so as to increase their profit. On top of all of this we have the

politicians. In the recent televised Republican presidential debate I heard the oftrepeated statement that we should not increase the minimum wage but rather educate our young people so they can get high-paying, high-tech jobs. Success, according to our politicians and educators, is all about getting into the “right” school. Getting into the right school requires proving, through standardized testing, you have the “right” IQ. I know at least two people who have very similar, very high IQs. Neither was good at memorization. Both in grammar school were considered to be below average. Both have had reasonable success in life. One was Albert

Einstein and I am the other. In all likelihood, neither of us would have looked very good on the SATs. It is long past time for us to realize we are harming our young people because the “experts” either don’t know what they are doing or are totally focused on personal or corporate gain. Parents, enough is enough. In many cases plumbers, electricians and the like make more money than doctors, teachers and university professors. Remember, Bill Gates did not get past his first semester of college. Train your child for a meaningful job and a complete life. But that’s just one man’s opinion. Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

From Red Planet suspense to Cold War chill

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

ovember movies are a reminder of what the medium of film can be. My wife and I recently saw “The Martian” and “Bridge of Spies.” These two new films offer viewers a chance to think, instead of just reacting to exploding robots or people with sudden super powers.

“The Martian,” starring Matt Damon, is about how astronaut Mark Watney, who is stuck on Mars, tries to communicate with people worlds away and to survive until a rescue mission can return for him. Oh, come on, people if you’ve seen even one preview, you know that much. Anyway, Damon doesn’t spend the entire movie flexing his muscles, shooting guns and running away from would-be assassins — he reserves those actions for the series of Bourne films. He figures out how to use the limited resources on Mars to survive. While it’s difficult to blend the possibilities of real science with an explanation of what he’s doing to an audience that might not follow everything, the film does an excellent job keeping up the suspense while giving us a Martian MacGyver. Damon’s portrayal, and the reaction of his body to an extended stay alone on Mars, is compelling. At one point, he describes how he

has to ration his food, going from eating three meals a day to eating one meal every three days. By flipping back and forth from Earth to an Ares capsule to Mars, the movie keeps the action, suspense and drama going without turning the movie into a one-man show. The scenes with the staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were especially satisfying, offering a look at some of the ways the hardworking analysts, engineers and scientists on Earth make it possible for humans — and satellites — to perform extraordinary tasks. The scene shifts from the work Watney is doing on Mars to the tireless efforts of the JPL staff make it clear how much science like this is a team effort. As an aside, several scientists on Long Island have worked at a range of NASA facilities, developing technology for use on Mars rovers or working to understand the effects of extended exposure to radiation on the human body.

Meanwhile back in the late 1950s in “Bridge of Spies,” Brooklyn lawyer Jim Donovan, played by Tom Hanks, is assigned the unenviable task of defending Russian spy Rudolf Abel. The film captures the clash of duty to our country that surged through the ranks of attorneys, police officers and judges, with a duty to our Constitution which had — and often still has — a much more challenging set of rules to follow. Donovan takes risks by defending Abel. The movie doesn’t address what secrets Abel might have been revealing, and it doesn’t need to. What it does offer, however, is a compassionate look at a soldier in a war for information during a period of heightened tension between two countries capable of destroying the world. Portraying Abel, Mark Rylance, a stage actor who was won three Tony Awards, steals the movie. His subtle and nuanced

Two new films offer viewers a chance to think.

portrayal of Abel as a prisoner of war is captivating. The audience can see how Donovan might have made the transition from doing his duty and ensuring a legal defense for this spy to feeling a greater responsibility for a man who was a devoted soldier, albeit in a war against his own country. The characters, performances and situations in “The Martian” and “Bridge of Spies” stay with the viewers well after walking out of the theaters.

Horror has its continued fascination

here is a fascination with stories about the Holocaust. Maybe it has to do with trying to understand pure evil. Maybe it is an exploration of the depths of man’s inhumanity toward man. Maybe it’s a terror that could happen again, to anyone who is somehow chosen to be a victim, and that could be any one of us. And just when one thinks, “Enough, I don’t have to read or see any more of these stories,” another one comes along, bringing its own compelling detail — and

the fascination continues. Elsewhere in this newspaper, in the Arts & Lifestyles section, there is an article about a film, recently shown at Suffolk County Community College, telling the story of a different Holocaust survivor. I’m writing today about Thomas Blatt, who died this past Tuesday at the age of 88, and who was one of those escapees from the Sobibor extermination camp after a massive revolt by the prisoners. I had never heard of this particular death camp, nor of an uprising there, and so I read his obit with interest. Blatt was 15 and his brother just 10 when they were taken from their largely Jewish village in the Lublin district of Poland, along with their parents and neighbors, and put into a ghetto by the Nazis in 1942. From there, they were deported to Sobibor, where Blatt’s family was gassed immediately after arrival. For some reason, Thomas, who was fair and blue-eyed, was pulled out of line by one of the guards and given odd jobs to do, thus being spared his fam-

ily’s fate. His jobs included fixing fences, burning documents, cutting the hair of women before they were herded into the gas chambers and sorting the victims’ belongings. “I recognized my mother’s clothes and I realized my parents were no longer alive,” Blatt said. Six months after he arrived, there was an uprising and mass escape from the camp, with some 300 prisoners running for their lives. Only some 60 managed to survive the war, including Blatt; the other escapees were hunted down and executed by the Nazis. There had been about 150 Ukrainian guards and 15 German SS officers at the camp, and many of them were killed in the escape. The site was knocked down and bulldozed by the Germans, who were trying to hide the death camp and the event. Blatt hid for almost a year until the advancing Russian troops pushed back the German army from Poland, despite having been shot in the jaw by a Polish farmer during the escape. Blatt eventually emigrated to Israel in 1958 and the United States a year later, ultimately

settling in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he lived with his family and owned three electronics stores. Years after he had arrived in America, he was asked to testify at the trial of alleged camp guard, John Demjanjuk, a retired autoworker who had been living in Ohio. Blatt wasn’t able to identify the accused, but he became a prominent witness for the prosecution with his many details about the brutality unleashed on the prisoners by all the Ukrainian guards. Demjanjuk was found guilty but died before his appeal could be heard. “I never escaped from Sobibor,” Blatt said. “I’m still there — in my dreams and in everything. My point of reference is always Sobibor.” Described as “quiet and modest,” by a longtime friend, “Blatt suffered from recurrent nightmares and depression, and said, “Witnessing genocide is overwhelming; writing about it is soul shattering.” But according to his friend, he never harbored malice toward the Germans, the Ukrainians or those Poles

who were anti-Semitic in his lifetime. He urged others to do the same. He worked tirelessly, traveling back and forth to Poland, to preserve the site of one of the few uprisings by Jewish inmates against Nazi guards during World War II. Blatt was haunted by regret all his life for the last words he said to his mother just before they were separated at the death camp. “And you didn’t let me drink all the milk yesterday. You wanted to save some for today.” He fervently wished he could have instead hugged her and told her how much he loved her. Blatt, who wrote two books on the horrors of Sobibor, is survived by his three children, six grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren.
