“The past is never dead,” said novelist William Faulkner. For those who have been scarred by history’s upheavals and tragedies, a painful living past can, with grace and will, provide the
motivation to transform the hearts of generations to come. Their hard-won wisdom, born of memories of brutality and injustice, may form the bedrock of a better world for all who follow.
Gerda Weissmann Klein, photographed above by Patrick Zachmann, likes to say that even a boring day is beautiful if you’re living in freedom. The 95-year-old Holocaust survivor, now residing
in Phoenix, doesn’t take these words lightly. After she endured six years of Nazi brutality, she was liberated by U.S. troops — including Kurt Klein, who would become her husband and whose
portrait she holds. The gift of survival inspired Klein to spend her life teaching tolerance and the blessings of American citizenship, a calling that earned her a Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
