Let’s think back. Let’s think way back. Before you were born. Let’s go back 70 years. It was a time before there was an Internet. It was a time when radio was pretty hi tech. But it was a time when great-grandparents were either facing concentration camps or they were trying to decide whether to enter a war.
It’s sorta hard to imagine children who considered just surviving to be a gift.
Let’s not visit the guilt-factor universe, but let’s be grateful for the blessings that we have. In some cases, they may be minuscule, but they are far better than an entire generation that placed a precious value on every sunrise.
If you want to really appreciate the celebration of what we have today, you might want to attend the Dallas Holocaust Museum’s Kindertransport exhibit. It continues through February with speakers like Charlotte Decoster on Thursday, January 16, and Magie Furst on Sunday, February 2. Admission is a mere $5 for non-members of the museum.
