Remembering to Live

I have often questioned the human spirits ability to overcome obstacles or, tragedies that were faced through out time. History holds thousands of examples of individuals who, have had to outlast the ways of the wicked. The memories of a single or united decision will always have it’s aftermath, every action makes a mark in time and in memory.

I have given great consideration to Stephen Nasser aka “Pista” who has lived with the consequences of an event that took place not so long ago. I was fortunate to be able to attend one of his many presentations which, would be my first for the topic of the holocaust but, it may very well be the one I needed to attend. I quickly took notice of the key information Mr. Nasser conveyed in his speech concerning his book, My Brothers Voice.

What could rightfully be treated as a deep look into a dark moment in time has really become a seminar on the need to remember what you are living for. Mr. Nasser has made it painfully obvious that forgetting the past can not be done but, he has found a way to pull through the hurt of scars, that may never heal.

In his presentation Mr. Nasser talked openly about the death of his family, he mentioned that 20 family members went into the Auschwitz concentration camp and that only he made it out. In his book My Brothers Voice, Mr. Nasser will give you a deeper reflection of his struggles as a 13 year old boy who endured the pain of seeing his family members executed and, how he has survived the death of millions of others.

Mr. Nasser has made it a point to remind the young as well as the old that family is all you really have in life, this is a topic that never lacks in need of example and Stephen Nasser has made it the forefront of his remaining life.
