Great read Faith. I’m like you The Holocaust continues to shock and amaze me. It’s hard to believe but then I look around and see similar circumstances in Syria, Afghanistan, China, Africa and here in the US. It’s like we hear about it, we agree it’s terrible and, I think, we wait or expect someone else to do something!?
This post reminded me of the movie ‘Defiance.’ As someone said about changing the situation , ‘If it is to be then it’s up to me.’
Thank you Faith for this post. As soon as I read it I searched on YouTube and found a short clip in which Miriam Brysk told about her father. What a man!
In the same type, I know an French Armenian man whose grand father owed his survival to a sewing machine. In 1922, with his wife, he fled far away from Istambul with his sewing machine, and sewed clothes for poor turkish people in the countryside. Thus, managed he to leave Turkey.
In such circumstances, life, or survival , hold on a little thing. Decision you take, courage, habilities, commitment, or meeting good and courageous people. What would we have done in such circumstances? That makes me dizzy.

Yes, indeed. I feel exactly the same!
