Herman and Roma Rosenblat, now of North Miami Beach, Fla., and formerly of Queens, actually met as children - he as a 12-year-old in a Nazi concentration camp and she as a 9-year-old who for months tossed apples and bread across a fence to help that little boy survive.
One day, he was transferred to another camp and thought he had seen the last of his petite benefactor.
Fourteen years later, Rosenblat - now living in New York - was cajoled into joining a buddy on a blind date. The nervous couple spoke of their mutual backgrounds as Polish emigres. The conversation eventually turned to his childhood in a concentration camp, and Roma volunteered that she had lived near a camp where she would visit a young boy everyday and sneak him food across the fence.
"That was me!" Rosenblat said he exclaimed. "Now that I found you, I'm not going to ever let you go" and proposed marriage right on the spot.

That was an article I read on Yahoo News( http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060217/ap_on_re_us/love_mitzvah;_ylt=Al32ljA7uzsUlT1zjKOerrYDW7oF;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl ). It gives me strength and hope, I hope it gives you all a little boost too. Perhaps we are all cynical and wrong, perhaps true love does exist out there.
I hope you all find it one day.
I hope I do too.
