It is time. How long can we go on being angry?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-block\">More than 50 years have passed since the nightmare was lifted. Many things, good and less good, have since happened to those who survived it. They learned to build on ruins. Family life was re-created. Children were born, friendships struck. They learned to have faith in their surroundings, even in their fellow men and women. Gratitude has replaced bitterness in their hearts. No one is as capable of thankfulness as they are. Thankful to anyone willing to hear their tales and become their ally in the battle against apathy and forgetfulness. For them every moment is grace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-block\">Oh, they do not forgive the killers and their accomplices, nor should they. Nor should you, Master of the Universe. But they no longer look at every passer-by with suspicion. Nor do they see a dagger in every hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-block\">Does this mean that the wounds in their soul have healed? They will never heal. As long as a spark of the flames of Auschwitz and Treblinka glows in their memory, so long will my joy be incomplete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-block\">What about my faith in you, Master of the Universe?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.nytimes.com\/1997\/10\/02\/opinion\/a-prayer-for-the-days-of-awe.html?mcubz=0&amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com\">Read the full story on The New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master of the Universe, let us make up.
