The film seen on Thursday in the evening moved me in many ways emotionally. I was able to see the pain that these people felt for those who were suffering. I loved that those who were willing to rescue did not care of the risks but cared only for the people in need and their well being. Something that stood out to me was when a rescuer stated that he would die and his family would die before his guest would parish. This is remarkable to me because not many would consider putting themselves or their families at risk in order to save another. I myself have a hard time with this idea, but I am so grateful that there were people willing to do so for those who were desperate need.
The story of the man who was so determined to get the books back was striking and I am so grateful it happened. It allowed the son of the man wishing for the books return to grieve and have a different perspective of his father. It was emotional and powerful to see the two men together and the passing of the books, the gratitude was overwhelming.
The discussion after was incredible as well. I was honored to ask questions and see others ideas as well. I really appreciated when they talked about the scripture and the connections made through religion with helping and giving for ones neighbor. I enjoyed listening to their opinions and am appreciative that they gave their time to answer difficult questions.
