Kindertransport

Image
 Below are 6 heart-warming stories from the Kindertransport   (German for "children's transport") , which   was a British rescue operation that saved 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi- controlled territory. This train took me from Nuremburg to England, where I stayed in a group home with other children escaping the Holocaust. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/6-stories-of-the-kindertransport

"A King Dressed as a Servant" - a poem by Rumi

Image
 A sweet voice calls out The caravan from Egypt is here A hundred camels with amazing treasure. Midnight, a candle and someone quietly waking me, Your friend has come. I spring out of my body, put a ladder to the roof, and climb up to see if it is true. Suddenly there is a world within this world, ocean inside the water jar. A king sitting with me dressed as a servant. A garden in the chest of the gardener. I see how love has thoughts , and that these thoughts are circling in conversation with majesty. Let me keep opening this moment Like a dead body reviving. Shams Tabriz saw the placeless one and from that he made a place.                              ~Rumi Rumi's poetry is known in history as a bridge between faiths.
