Lord, when you come in your glory, remember not only the people of good will, but also the people of ill will. But do not remember their cruelty, their brutal treatment, and violence. Remember all the fruits we have borne as a result of what they have done to us. Remember the patience and courage of others, the friendship, humility, generosity, and loyalty they have awakened in us. And make, Lord, that the fruits we have borne may one day be their redemption.
(prayer of an unknown prisoner, found on a scrap of wrapping paper after the liberation of Auschwitz)
