Thank you for the revealing “A Visit to Birkenau” (by Sami Awad, May 2010). How noble of those, both Palestinian and Israeli, who work sacrificially to break the cycle of violence, who seek to love their oppressors, forgive those who sin against them, and work for peace in the face of so much hate, hurt, and loss. God give them grace and courage.
