am a few days late, but April 16 2007 was the day that the Virginia Tech shootings occurred. it was also Holocaust Remembrance Day.
on that day, a Holocaust survivor and professor at Virginia Tech died to save the lives of his students. thought this was poignant and rather poetic:
"that day we saw horror, but we also saw quiet acts of courage. We saw this courage in a teacher named Liviu Librescu. With the gunman set to enter his class, this brave professor blocked the door with his body while his students fled to safety. On the Day of Remembrance, this Holocaust survivor gave his own life so that others may live. And this morning we honor his memory and we take strength from his example."
