I've been awful so far about posting.. and there will be a spam of posts soon. I'm working on one about my experiences so far at the school and another on things I'm involved in.
Tonight I was fortunate enough to go listen to a holocaust survivor. It was interesting to hear a perspective from someone who stayed in Europe.
This incredible woman made many striking remarks, but one thing in particular stuck with me. She continuously referred to being in the camps as "l'enfer de l'enfer" (hell of hell).
I found myself immediately thinking about everything I've been reading over the past few years about incarceration in the United States, and how thousands suffer from inhumane conditions.
I highly recommend reading Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman (not the Netflix TV series). And this article on juvenile detention.
A la prochaine...
