I shook with helplessness and rage, but also with fear. This was what fighting back earned you. More abuse. More death.

I had watched my parents be taken away to their deaths, had avoided Amon Goeth and his dogs, had survived the sa . . . Read more

And you wanted to escape,' a man near me whispered to another man. 'You wanted to run off into the woods and fight. But do you see? Do you see what the rest of them think about us? These people would sell you back to the Nazis for a sack of potatoes and then toast you at their dinner table.

The ceremony was fast so we wouldn't be caught. When it was over, the men all whispered 'Mazel tov' and climbed back onto their shelves.

Life is but a river. It has no beginning, no middle, no end. All we are, all we are worth, is what we do while we float upon it — how we treat our fellow man.
