Yesterday I went to the Museum of Tolerance. I've been before.....one other time to the one in L.A. and once to the one in D.C.
We went through the tour (very crowded) and decided to go listen to the Holocaust Survivor speak at 2. I sort of knew what to expect, I've heard a survivor before. But I was completely unprepared.
We had the pleasure of hearing Elizabeth Mann speak. She was born in Hungary on December 31, 1925. She spent one year at Auschwitz. She has no idea how she survived....Her father, brother, and mother were all killed pretty much the moment they arrived. Her story is heart wrenching. But at the end of it she talked about hope and believing in the good of others. She is truly an inspiring woman. To talk about believing in the good of others after everything she's been through reminds me that no matter what hope remains.
I can't imagine what she's been through, but hers is a story and message that needs to be heard round the world.
