I am going to share with you a video that has touched my heart. This is a powerful story of a hero in the German concentration camps. This story touched me because my father is a holocaust survivor. At the time he was only a teenager and was enslaved by the Nazi German Army. I visited Germany after college with my dad. He gave me a tour of the village where he was held captive.

The tour involved the places where my father had worked as coal carrier. This coal was carried on his back day after day. He had to walk the town delivering coal wearing “homemade shoes” made out of scraps. He showed me the homes that would sneak food to him, the butcher who would hide meat for him in the alley (who was later beaten), the rail road tracks that seemed like an escape to freedom that brought more prisoners and more coal, the barn were he slept with the horses, and the view he had when the bombs went off and where my father had lost his hearing.

Growing up hearing these war time stories and reliving it with my dad some fifty years later I still can only imagine the pain and suffering.

The Nazi concentration camp prisoners were understandably miserable and some on the brink of suicide. They were stripped of everything that they had – their families, homes, possessions, clothes. They were left with nothing and became slaves. There was one hero – Victor Frankl – among them that was able to bring the prisoners from suicide with only one question.

You can change your state of mind with one question!

Find that question and write it down and read it when you get up, before bed and whenever necessary.

What does life still have to expect from you?
