In a recent airing of "Unsolved Mysteries", there was a young boy who was the victim of the holocaust(大屠杀).He'd been in a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to survive the of his imprisonment.
The story was of a boy - now in his sixties - and his quest to find an American soldier who had a kindness to him by some food.

He, needed food. As he was staggering along the road a young soldier down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. With this one act of generosity, a kind American had aroused the again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never it.
