"It was basically a survival (situation), and hope and faith which got you through that," Tully said. "If you lost your hope or your faith you were dead."Rene Hecht Tully, right, and her mother, left, had photographs taken by the French government in June 1945 almost two months after being freed from a forced labor camp in Czechoslovakia.

She agreed with Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl's description of this phenomenon in his book, "Man's Search for Meaning."
"A man who sat down and said, 'I can't take it anymore,' died," she said.
This is where I share RANDOM rants and ruminations, beliefs, lists, dreams, goals, frustrations, bargains, and social injustices (EVAGATION, n. the act of wandering; excursion; a roving or rambling). More about me than you wanted to know. You may not agree with me but I hope you share my belief that what makes America great is freedom to have and express differing views. Enjoy peeking into my public journal if you want to know that part of me I share here. Enjoy!

Another Holocaust survivor story
Interesting story about a Holocaust survivor who joined the LDS Church and hopes to find her "roots." She had faith in God though she and her mother were not practicing Jews. Of course that made no difference to the Nazis. Her story is another one where determination helped them survive and thank Goodness there are survivors to tell the horrible story.
