All evening, the audience sat intently listening to poetry. Poetry was read in Arabic, Bulgarian, French, Hindi, Korean, Polish, and Spanish. I was moved to tears by poem written by Korean who died at the age of 27. When Professor Paden read a poem in Spanish, I sat still savoring each word.
The evening ended with advice from Dr. Oscar Haber. Dr. Haber is a Holocaust Survivor. He has lived a life that is rich with wisdom. He said, "If the Lord wills, I will celebrate my 103 birthday next March. Please Google Dr. Oscar Haber. He has a story worth reading. As I was preparing to leave, I asked his permission to take his picture. He graciously agreed.
