Quotes
Lord, remember not only the men and women of goodwill, but also
those of ill will.
Do not remember all the sufferings they have inflicted upon us;
remember the fruits we bear, thanks to this suffering -
our comradeship, our loyalty, our humanity, courage, generosity,
the greatness of heart which has grown out of all this.
And when they come to judgement,
let all the fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness."
(A prayer found on a scrap of paper beside the body of a girl who
died at Ravensbrück)
I believe in the sun, though it is late in rising.
I believe in love, though it is absent.
I believe in God, though He is silent."
(From the wall of a Cologne cellar where Jews hid from the Gestapo)
