T'Shoah

Agnes S., Holocaust survivor, begins her talk today:

“I was very very lucky.”

And ends with:

“Don’t hate.”

 

To which I can only add, “Don’t be paranoid.” 

 While it is true that your own neighbors may turn you in under the right circumstances: under equally or more daunting circumstances, they may hide you as well.  And you may not owe your existence to luck, but to someone’s good will.  In fact, we already owe our lives to someone’s good will; from once upon a time

 to the present. 

 Whose good will?  That “will” vary, on one level; but on the other plane, it is just this:

“…from Everlasting to Everlasting.” 

Lest we forget.
