I’m very glad I live in the U.S.A. I am reminded of my visit to Auschwitz, where not even the Jewish men were free. It changed my life. I have a different perspective on freedom. I think of it constantly. I am saddened for them and grateful for my life.
Those of us who have always been able to do what we want, when we want, where we want (restricted only by our own consciences) cannot understand this kind of life. I am unable to get inside their heads to learn why anyone would give up all freedoms, apparently willingly.
