I was present for a five day Bearing Witness Retreat there with the Zen Peacemakers. Standing in line to get some tea I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned to face a woman who, in German accented English, said to me: \"I need to talk to someone.\" Her apprehension was palpable and heavy. I smiled and held her gaze. \"I am the granddaughter of a major Nazi and feel I should not be here.\" We continued to hold each other's gaze. I sensed the deep roots of the shame she was expressing. Without hesitation and a broader smile I said, \"I am glad you are here.\" I saw her relief. She smiled and asked me why I was there. I said, \"Because for most of my life I could not shake the feeling that I wanted to annihilate you and your people.\" Her smile deepened as she slowly nodded in understanding. We sat down and had tea together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are friends to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51891523715360,"sku":"9798992884104","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/HtuxMNXK0Q9798992884104.webp?v=1781968102","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tai-chi-at-auschwitz-an-unexpected-reconciliation-journey-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
