Today Noemi gave her first talk to the ninth and tenth grade students about her experience of the Holocaust. Her message of hope, love, and understanding was warmly accepted by the students and staff of TAS. When she told her story to the 500 plus students, you could hear a pin drop.

Later in the day, she met with two groups of students who were given the opportunity to ask her questions. The questions were fascinating. For me the most interesting question was: Do you hate the Nazis? She said that she did not hate them. She felt pain.



"When you hate someone you become a prisoner. Don’t become a prisoner of your own hate."

It was a message that I will never forget; the students will not forget either.

Noemi's quote about hate is so true about being a prisoner of "Hate." If you focus on someone or a whole people as your hate object(s), then it takes over your life. What if you focus on "love" and "compassion?"
