NOTABLE THOUGHTS Hans Suskind,
90, Holocaust survivor and cat rescuer, died May 17 in Okeechobee, Florida,
leaving most of his $250,000 estate to the Okeechobee Rehabilitative Center for
use in cat care. “Suskind had no family,” the Miami Herald remembered. “He
fled Germany and Holland before ending up in Indianapolis, where he was a
door-to-door salesman and kept a cat. After he retired to Okeechobee, his cat
died. But he got another, who started a small colony of felines on the bank of a
canal where Suskind lived. When he could no longer care for himself and his
cats, Suskind entered a nursing home. While he was there, a woman who cared for
his property called animal control and had the cats picked up. They were put to
sleep at the Okeechobee Rehabilitative Center.” The above story was found in www.AnimalPeopleNews.org
