Alice Tenenbaum--a holocaust survivor who was dear to me
Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi Tupp,
Thanks so much for your post. It meant a lot to me. It is unspeakable what went on and what still goes on, especially given the recent rise of nationalism throughout the world. Which group(s) will be next? Alice managed to brave the worst of it and teach people about the potential pain and suffering.

I am horrified on a daily basis at the things people will do to each other. Momentary losses of control or madness are one of those things that are an unfortunate part of being human and will always happen, I think, but the concentrated efforts of some to foster hatred and intolerance, wherever it comes from, just make me so sad. I find it astonishing that we are such a varied species and can have some who do such great things and some who do such terrible ones. Watching history repeat itself in so many ways and so many times makes me wonder at our inability to learn and look for a better way, but people like Alice give hope. It's always astonishing to read those sort of accounts and then to see people do so much for others. Having that kind of selflessness always amazes me. It's perfectly possible (and understandable) to hide in a shell to protect yourself when you've been through so much, so to see people turn that around and go on to help other people and achieve such great things is always amazing. I'm very glad you were able to know her xx
