As I turned the pages, I found myself overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of Edith's journey and the atrocities she endured. The people she remembered and how she remembered them.

He needed to be held and I held him" "You can avenge the past or enrich the future" "To forgive is to grieve for what happened, for what didn't happen, and to give up the need for a different past. To accept life as it was and as it is" "Find the bigot in you" "Arbeit macht frei but that work doesn't set you free. I was free and did the work I needed to do. The inner work sets you free" "What do you want? Who wants it? What are you going to do about it? When?"
