10. Journal #3
Today on the streets of DOWNTOWN OKC, I passed a man simply asking for change as he held out an empty shoe polish canister. I had none, so I passed him and went on my way. On my return trip to the office, I found him and this woman sitting together. She did not give him change, she did not drop off a hot meal.....she sat down, cut her chicken wrap in half, and shared it with him. She did not leave, she sat and talked and asked genuine questions that many of us would ask while out to lunch with a friend. She did not treat him like a person to help, but a person to love….

21. What’s Holding you down?
Gerda Weissmann Klein
In September 1939 at the age of 15, Gerda Weissman Klein’s peaceful middle-class life changed forever as German troops stormed the quaint streets of her southern Polish. Under German occupation, the Weismann family was mandated to live in the basement of their beloved home and later forced into a Jewish ghetto. Her older brother Arthur was summoned by law to register with the German army. In 1942, her parents, Julius and Helene, were sent to Auschwitz, a death camp, while she was sent to Dulag, a transit camp. Klein would spend the next three years at a series of slave-labor and concentration camps, nearly avoiding execution on several occasions. She would never see her brother or parents again. Sixty-seven of her relatives, including all of her immediate family died in the Holocaust. Only Klein and her uncle, survived.

22. In early 1945, the then 20-year-old Klein was among 2,000 women ordered by the Nazis to begin a treacherous 350-mile death march to evade the advances of Allied Forces. The women were exposed to harsh winter elements, starvation, humiliation, and many were arbitrarily executed. Klein was one of less than 120 women who survived the journey. Despite the atrocities she experienced, Klein says she never lost the will to live. Klein’s childhood best friend died in her arms just days before they would be liberated by American forces on May 7, On the day of liberation, Klein was white-haired due to malnutrition, weighed a mere 68 pounds, and was one-day shy of her 21st birthday.

23. “I pray you never stand at any crossroads in your own lives, but if you do, if the darkness seems so total, if you think there is no way out, remember, never ever give up.” President Obama
