Here’s what one student wrote following the first MAGPI videoconference held in May, 2006:
Grace: Central Dauphin High School: To me, the greatest acts of kindness are not obvious on first glance. They are not actions that only the foremost leaders can execute. Instead, they are the ones that ordinary people do without thinking. We can see these small but moving stories in memoirs from survivors like Gerda Weissmann Klein. Gerda tells a story of her liberation. The man who is now her husband held the door for her and called her a lady.
What restored Mrs. Klein’s dignity was not a fancy organized effort for liberation; instead, it was being called a lady despite the situation. These are the actions that conquer hatred. Each day, we can give a small smile to someone on the street; we can hold the door for someone; we can use manners when speaking to others. There is hatred and we can see it every day on the news, but there is also goodness that spreads its glow much farther than the hate.
