Among great men

Last month I was truly honored to accompany Bud to the 78th commemoration of the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp.

Honestly, it is always *the most rich* experience to immerse into history. I am super blessed to have this experience often, and sharing these moments with Bud is a privilege of a lifetime. And, what a humbling moment to stand among these great men!

Returning home and trying to find the words to encapsulate the experience usually takes a while, but sometimes pictures speak louder than words anyway.

Left to right: Maximilian Lütgens (Education Dept., Dachau), Joseph Alexander (survivor), me, Abba Naor (survivor), Bud Gahs (liberator), and Dr. Christoph Thonfeld (Head of Research, Dachau).

Max is pointing to Joseph’s hat which says: Not everyone looks this good at 100.

In spite of enduring the horrors of twelve concentration camps, Joseph has seen 100 years of life - and his life is an incredible testimony to overcoming and commitment. His story is so inspiring!

Stay tuned for a video compilation of the commemoration events from my nonprofit organization www.storiesofwar.org
