TO FORGIVE HITLER
At Maidenak, Poland, Nazis ran a death camp for Jews. After the war, a Jewish girl named Golda came to work with abandoned German children. Golda had lost her entire family at Maidenak. When asked how she could work with German children after the loss of her whole family to the Nazis, Golda replied, “I chose to work with them in order to forgive Hitler. I wanted to forgive him so I would not be like him. When I have completely forgiven Hitler, then I can leave.” From “To Be Whole Again,” Christopher Phillips, Parade Magazine, August 11, 1991, page 10
