My dear young friend, I have lived a century and I know what it is like to look evil in the eye. I have faced the worst sides of humanity, the atrocities of concentration camps, and the Nazis' efforts to annihilate my people. Yet now I consider myself the happiest person on earth. From what I have experienced, I have learned this: life can be beautiful if you make it beautiful. I will tell you my story - for long periods sad and bleak, but with a happy ending. Because happiness is ultimately our choice. It depends on us. Let's see how.
