patricia and i went to the boston holocaust memorial this weekend and this was inscribed on one of the glass towers:
"Ilse, a childhood friend of mine, once found a raspberry in the camp and carried it in her pocket all day to present to me that night in a leaf.
Imagine a world in which your entire world is one raspberry and you give it to your friend."
-Gerda Weissman Klein
Deported from Germany as a teenager. Later married the Army officer who led the troops to rescue her.
there are a million things contained in this single observation and i wish i had the words to describe just one of them.
