I mean as some people who go on do crazy things hurt others because theyre hard and they dont think the days will get better from. And when you say oh. You look at her and you see. Things are good for her now then my gave you the courage to say you know. Im not going to what i was thinking about i dont. How do you find forgiveness.

There. They. Were sure you are keeping your meds so. If i might make it this is you know the strong things dont come. With us you can be very small. You know when youre 944 my mom was forced on a desk march from auschwitz to the notorious for going bills and. This brings us to how the war ended for my mom when british troops approached her camp. And what happened between her and then s. S. Guard on her last day of captivity. Theyre relating to it and theyre thinking about themselves and their families and so i feel an obligation. And its an obligation that im glad to do now and honestly i feel privileged. I really feel privileged. That i can do this you know i mean to me. And it means to me there and i wish that my father. I wish that he. Had enough. When he was. Here. If. You and i are speaking on the 78th anniversary of the liberation of one of the camps that you were in Bergen Belsen so it was a very said it was ahead they. Did. Did you that is the secret to it tonight dude each innocent. Little kids here are the prisoners to figure in the ground vibrating they did hear the tanks coming closer and closer they need this sort of liberation.

The bullets came in right she and it sentiment in my house and it came through. Clothes from and monks. And then girls with this from the same wallet but also one that. Was the most serious. And at the moment when the bullet came i did not realize what is happening to me until the blog start coming. So this was a terrible experience just to see dave today. After much trauma. Made it. She survived years. Tests. That did the spell. Driving. It is. Literally. In the air when its also. Coming theyre telling their friends about. It.

Felt that it was important that i actually didnt think instead of just talking. So my name is caroline kennedy. Is a city and i just graduated from high school. So i met sonia when i was in 8th grade and her story changed my life completely changed my outlook on what i want to do. With her one individual story was all it took to inspire me to go and start this organization.
