St.

Nazis machine-gunned hundreds of jews, including his wife, two daughters, and
three sons. “I had to decide right then whether to let myself hate the

world. I decided then that I would spend the rest of my life–whether it was a
few days or many years–loving every person I came in contact with.” ‘—‘George
