“What is there to say? They are my friends. I would do it again, over and over — for I hate cruelty and intolerance.” Oskar Schlinder LOST IN A SEA OF WAR daringly intrepid, dazzlingly, dizzily protecting the poor, the unarmed, the kids, those lost in a sea of war — Schindler and his musical score, outscoring the hate that seemingly won’t abate but for God steps into the shoes of man Kim Rodrigues © 2019

This reminds me that we all have the capacity to help our fellow man, and we need to be cognizant that when we do, we are inadvertently saving our souls.

Oh, if only people were like Schindler. At the end of the movie, he cries when He says" I could have saved more!" This movie was a masterpiece. Great poem, my friend. "God steps into the shoes of men!" Utterly awesome.. Love, Panagiota. xxxxx

Thanks, Panagiota! I have read of others who would turn the Jews in for a morsel of bread. What will man sell his soul for?
