SURVIVORS STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
Friday, June 10, 2005
INTRODUCTION
Nesse Godin grew up in Siauliai, Lithuania and lived a normal, happy life until June of 1941 when the Germans invaded her country. She survived several concentration camps and a death march. As someone that lived through the horrors of the Holocaust, and as a human being who believes we must never forget, she cannot remain silent while people suffer in Darfur, Sudan. Every time she speaks about her experiences during the Holocaust, she also speaks about Darfur. She addressed a group in front of the Sudanese embassy rallying to end the genocide, told the assembled diplomats at the United Nations why we must do something for the innocent people of Darfur, and spoke to a group of 400 students from 90 universities across America that traveled to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, to learn how they can help stop the genocide.
