Dec. 10: The best thing I've read this week

Unforgettable stories. 

I am loathe to suggest that the atrocities committed by the Nazis -- as abhorrent and inexplicable as they were -- produced a "silver lining." Suggesting such a thing makes it sound like there were positives. There weren't. 

But, generations later, the people who survived the atrocities have given us something beautiful: Unforgettable stories. 

The New York Times' Keren Blankfeld found one of them -- the story of David Wisnia and Helen "Zippi" Spitzer. It's beautiful, tragic, triumphant and hopeless. The end gutted me. 

Still, you won't forget their story.
