Tale of Block 24

This is a long one, but it's well worth reading, imo. Disclaimer: content includes concentration camp "brothels." ThanBook linked to it. I've enjoyed his blog for a long time, now.

Inspiration, move me brightly,

Light the song with sense of color

I believe in love even when I don’t feel it.
I believe in God even when He is silent.

The website linked above has some good, not-too-graphic resistance information on WWII from an historical perspective and is worth poking around.
