Edith minset's mind is so remarkable, n an unusual in nature. And i'm trying to figure out if we can even relate to you. But as is 16 year old, you somehow had the cognitive wherewithal to identify moments, however small, in your experience in auschwitz. How did did that just come naturally to you? Did you feel it was an intentional act on your part? I ended up praying for them, in my own way, a that they are really the true prisoners, not me. Forgiveness is a gift that i give myself,. That i don't carry the narcy with me, that i don't carrying the heat with me.
