Poor Jane had a long day - we finally made it down to Elephant Butte from Albuquerque about 10 PM. She was up at midnight and left Fairbanks at 1:25 AM her time to begin this 20 hour journey.

Others Choose the Path of Healing

The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
