I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no person should witness: gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot by high school and college graduates. So, I am suspicious of education.
My request is:
Help your children become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths or educated Eichmanns. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more human.

Sincerely,
Dr. Haim Ginott, Holocaust survivor, child psychologist and author

We are saddened to share the news that Holocaust survivor, Edith Carter passed away May 19, 2010, at the age of 95. Edith's testimony is documented in "Mapping Our Tears." She always reminded those she met of the importance of preserving, remembering, and passing on this history in hopes that we would learn from it. Her final words of her video are "Each of us have the obligation to do something so this world will be better," a motto Edith lived by. Read a tribute to Edith in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
