Day 01 - Teach, You Must.

Dear Teachers:

I am a survivor 

of a concentration camp. 

My eyes saw 

what no person should (witness). 

Gas chambers built by learned engineers. 

Children poisoned by educated physicians. 

Infants killed by trained nurses. 

Women and babies shot and burned 

by high school and college graduates.

So I am suspicious...

(suspicious) of education. 

My request is: 

help your students become more human. 

Your efforts must never produce 

learned monsters, 

skilled psychopaths, 

or educated Eichmanns.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic 

are important, only if 

they serve 

to make our children 

more human.
