Stark Cold to Make It Feel Like the Teens
If you haven’t gotten out the winter coat, hat, scarf and gloves yet, do it now.
The NBC10 First Alert Weather has issued a First Alert for bitter cold starting at 4 a.m. Friday through 11 a.m. Saturday for startling cold that we haven’t experienced in months.
Temperatures will dip from the 50s Thursday night and by the Friday morning rush should feel colder. The cold temps continue to take hold throughout Friday as highs struggle to get into the low 40s and feel even colder.
"All through the day, the wind is going to be picking up and temperatures will be going down," meteorologist Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz said.
The cold blast will be a stark contrast to what we are used to as it should feel about 25 degrees to 35 degrees colder Friday than Thursday. By midday Friday, the feels-like temperature will be below freezing and it will dip into the teens Friday night into Saturday morning.
The National Weather Service declared a Freeze Watch for Philadelphia, South Jersey and Delaware neighborhoods as they could get the first freeze of the season.
We could also see some record cold temps early Saturday.
Stick with the NBC10 First Alert Weather Team throughout the cold blast for the latest on what to expect.

The shooting happened around 2:15 p.m. in a home along the 200 block of West Godfrey Avenue, police said.
A relative found the child in the basement where he had apparently shot himself, police said.
A family member took the 2-year-old boy to Einstein Medical Center where doctors were unable to save him.

Coast Guardsman Killed in Crash; Reality TV Star Charged
A member of the Coast Guard from Gloucester County, New Jersey, died in a wrong-way wreck in Virginia Beach -- and police have charged a reality TV star with DUI in the crash.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Daniel Dill died after the car he was driving was struck head-on around 2 a.m. on Nov. 4, according to Virginia State Police. He had been driving eastbound on I-264; the car that struck him was traveling westbound in the same lane.
Dill died of his injuries the next day at a nearby hospital. Melissa Hancock, who appeared on Lifetime’s "Little Women: Atlanta," was charged with driving while intoxicated/maiming and driving the wrong way.
[[456481983, C]]
More charges are possible, State Police said.
It was unclear if Hancock had an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
Dill, 29, was going to pick up his wife when he was struck. His wife had been out celebrating, and Dill wanted to get her home safely.
"It satisfies nothing in me to talk to her or about her," said Dill's father, Chris. "I am just disgusted that her poor decision cost my son, who was making all the right decisions, his life. It's just so unfair."
Dill was a Logan Township, New Jersey, native who was stationed at the Command, Control and Communications Engineering Center at Base Portsmouth.
His two brothers also served in the Coast Guard; Dill had just returned from a mission to help rebuild Puerto Rico.
Dill will be buried with military honors on Saturday.

Krasner Visited Other Progressive Big-City DAs For Advice
When Larry Krasner sprung an upset in the Democratic primary for Philadelphia District Attorney, the newcomer to elected office had a lot of time to mull how he would take over an office with 600 employees.
Krasner was virtually assured he’d become the city’s top prosecutor in January, with Democrats holding a nearly 8-to-1 advantage over Republicans in registered voters in the city. Thanks to those overwhelming numbers, he easily defeated Republican candidate Beth Grossman on Nov. 7.
Turns out that Krasner didn’t sit around between the primary in May and the general election.
He traveled across the country to meet with some of America’s big-city prosecutors to learn what the job entails.
Among the cities he visited are San Francisco, Houston, Chicago and New York City, his spokesman Ben Waxman said.
Krasner, in private practice for decades, wanted to learn from those prosecutors about what it’s like to run a large law enforcement agency, Waxman said.
“He went where there are other progressive-minded prosecutors to talk to them about getting their sense of running the office,” Waxman said.
In Philadelphia, the longtime civil rights and defense attorney will oversee hundreds of assistant prosecutors he formerly wrangled with in court. His reformer platform also has led to some speculation that he will face opposition within the ranks of the assistant district attorneys.
Complicating matters further, he will need to buoy the morale of an office still recovering from the conviction of the last elected DA, Seth Williams, who was sentenced to five years in prison in October for corruption.
Krasner’s campaign in the tough Democratic primary was aided, in part, by a political action committee funded by billionaire liberal George Soros. More than $1 million poured into the race from the Soros PAC, giving Krasner a huge advertising edge on his four opponents in the final weeks. It also put the Philadelphia District Attorney’s race on the national political map.
On the day of the general election, The Atlantic profiled Krasner. The magazine described his success as a reformer in Philadelphia — long an establishment Democratic stronghold — as “a potential bellwether among political organizers, analysts, and pundits trying to gauge voter appetite for progressive candidates in the era of President Trump.”
Waxman described Krasner’s trips around the country as a way to connect to other law enforcement officials with similar agendas.
The platform that led to Krasner’s label as a reformer and progressive begins with his long career in private practice arguing in defense of protesters' civil rights and alleged murderers alike. He has promised never to seek the death penalty and to fight for sentencing reforms to lower the number of prisoners in city jails and prisons.
“There is a growing movement of progressive prosecutors all over the country and a movement for criminal justice reform,” Waxman said. “He wanted to connect with his contemporaries.”
Krasner, he said, was “doing his homework.”

6 Years, 3 Concentration Camps, 1 Jacket That Still Remains
Holocaust survivor Otto Feuer wore a brown corduroy jacket on the day he thanked U.S. forces for liberating the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in April 1945. He kept that jacket until his death in the 1980s, a reminder of surviving the darkest era in modern history.
The jacket traveled with him from Germany to New York City, where he eventually married and raised a family.
Now, more than 70 years later, his memento lives on at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Shapell Center, which preserves artifacts in a secure location in Maryland. His late nephew and adopted son Peter, a Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, resident, donated that jacket and $1 million to the conservation center before he died in the spring.
“He had been incredibly modest and quiet about all of his involvement with the museum,” his brother, Michael, told NBC10. “That’s the kind of man he was.”
NBC10's Jim Rosenfield visited Michael and the Holocaust conservation center to learn more about Otto’s life and his lasting legacy.
'He Saw Terrible Things'
In old photos from World War II, Otto can be seen hanging from a post, his arms twisted behind him in a grotesque shape as his body slumps forward and his head hangs down. One other man is pictured next to him in the same position. A third man is on the ground, seemingly dead. But all three survived Buchenwald, which was built in 1937 near Weimar, Germany. That camp housed some 250,000 prisoners, including Jews, communists, gypsies, criminals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and the unemployed. Gay people were the subjects of cruel science experiments meant to “cure” homosexuality.
On April 11, 1945, emaciated prisoners, including Otto, stormed the watchtowers and seized control of the camp. Later that afternoon, American forces wrestled control of Buchenwald away from Nazis.
In a newsreel recorded two weeks later, 31-year-old Otto can be seen thanking his liberators. He wore the corduroy jacket, which still has his prisoner number sewn into it.
“It was part of the overall package of memories, knowledge, conversations, awareness of what he had lived through,” Michael said. “He saw terrible things.”
Inside a climate-controlled vault, more than 18,000 artifacts are stored alongside Otto’s jacket. They include prison uniforms, Stars of David, artwork and armbands Nazis forced Jewish people to wear.
The vault housing Otto’s belongings is one of nine, and officials at the conservation center expect the number of artifacts to double in the next decade.
[[456464303, C]]
Back to Normal
After Otto moved to the U.S., he adopted Peter and Peter's sister, Doris. The two children became Michael’s adopted siblings. Michael stored his father’s jacket in his attic after Otto died. It wasn’t until Peter asked him what became of it that Michael dug the relic out of a garment bag.
“I’ve been hoping that there are more people who can benefit from the knowledge of that jacket and the story” behind it, Michael said.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing parts of the jacket is Otto’s ability to regard it with a sense of detachment. He joked with family that it survived six years of Hitler only to snag some time later on a park bench in Paris.
“He had a rather remarkable ability to remember and describe experiences in … a certain kind of intellectually curious way, not only in a way that is fraught with emotion and pain, but with true fascination,” Michael said.
Michael first saw his father’s jacket and prison uniform when he was a teenager. Otto wanted to show him the before-and-after of his life — the juxtaposition of surviving three concentration camps only to raise a family in relative comfort thousands of miles away from where his was once tortured. Otto advised Michael not to “get too emotional” when seeing the artifacts, but instead to treat it as a growing pain. That was Otto’s way.
“He always said the fact that he survived was a matter of luck,” Michael said.
In 1995, Michael and his immediate family traveled to Buchenwald for the 50th anniversary of the camp’s liberation. They stayed in nearby Weimar, a town about 5 miles away that once birthed one of Germany’s most liberal constitutions. A bus pulled up to transport people to the former concentration camp, the haunting name emblazoned on the shuttle like any other tourist attraction.
The normalcy of that sign struck Michael, he said.
At the camp, Michael met one of the men pictured laying on the floor next to his father, who was strung up on a post like a piece of meat hung out to dry. His name was Jack Werber. He helped save more than 700 children at Buchenwald in the final months of World War II, according to his New York Times obituary.
It was there at Buchenwald that Michael first saw the video of his father after liberation. Otto was wearing the corduroy jacket, but Michael didn’t even notice. He was too stunned at seeing his father young and gleeful after tasting freedom for the first time in years.
People crowded around, looking at him and then looking at the man in the video.
Remembering Otto
Several of Otto’s relatives received visas as Adolf Hitler’s forces descended on Jews and others deemed “asocial.” His brothers escaped to New York, but Otto was arrested before receiving his travel papers. Otto’s mother also had a visa yet decided to remain in Germany along with her son. She was later killed in a gas chamber, the family suspects.
“She wouldn’t leave so long as one of her boys was in a camp,” he said.
Otto reunited with his relatives stateside in 1947. Several settled in Erie, Pennsylvania, and others in New York. Within six months of starting a new life in America, one of his brothers died and left two children behind. Peter was one of those kids.
Decades later, Peter dedicated himself to preserving his adopted father’s legacy and, perhaps, honoring the man who took care of him when he has no one else could.
“It’s really a full circle,” Michael said.

Man Swipes Halladay Jersey from Ballpark Memorial
A man was arrested for swiping a Roy Halladay jersey from a memorial for the baseball legend outside Citizens Bank Park Thursday, police said.
A Philadelphia Police officer assigned to the K9 Unit witnessed the man grab the jersey and place it inside his jacket. The officer gave chase and arrested the man a short distance away, police said.
The memorial has been growing outside the ballpark's third base gate at S. 11th Street and Pattison Avenue since Halladay's death Tuesday in a Florida plane crash. The star pitcher, who spent three years with the Philadelphia Phillies, died when his small amphibious plane flipped over in the Gulf of Mexico. He was 40.
[[456485253, C]]
Police spokesman Sgt. Eric Gripp said the man may not face a theft charge, however. Since police do not know who owns the jersey, they're not able to charge him with that crime.
Officers issued the man a disorderly conduct summons and sent him on his way, Gripp said.

AROUND THE WORLD
Sexual Misconduct Accusations Transform Alabama Senate Race: Republicans weren't supposed to have to worry about Alabama. Yet in the span of a tumultuous afternoon, a low-profile special election became a Republican nightmare that threatens a once-safe Senate seat — and offers a new window into ugly divisions that continue to plague the GOP in the age of President Donald Trump. Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, a 70-year-old former state Supreme Court justice, defiantly denied allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct with minors published Thursday in a Washington Post story. The revelations, a month before the Dec. 12 special election, triggered a sharp backlash from would-be Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill, who called on Moore to quit the race if the allegations were true. It was a bittersweet moment for some in the Republican establishment who argued that Moore, a Christian culture warrior twice removed from his state's Supreme Court for judicial misconduct, never should have been the party's Senate nominee in the first place. Some blamed Steve Bannon, Trump's former senior strategist, who broke from most GOP leaders — including Trump himself — by cheering Moore's candidacy earlier in the year.
