Wow. I cannot emphasize enough how much I respect you and your bravery. You stood up under the most terrible of times and kept yourself together in the face of unspeakable horrors. And to forgive your tormentors shows a greater and brighter perspective on life than most. I don't think I could have done it.

I am a 10th grade English teacher, and every year we read Elie Wiesel's Night. In fact, we will be starting it soon. These are 15 and 16 year old children who have for the most part never travelled more than 100 miles from home. They are sheltered and naive, but like all teenagers they think they have it all figured out. If you could speak to them, and share with them just one piece of wisdom, what would you most want them to know?

That's awesome! Thank you so much! I will certainly look into the logistics of working this out with my class.

A Hare Krishna community near me had a measles outbreak last year. What kind of medical care do you get in a commune?

Hi! I've always wondered, when actors watch a movie for the first time, which do you tend to notice first... the story or the technical aspects such as performances/directing/lighting/cinematography/etc.?

I know that actually being involved in the process can get you excited about and attentive to many different things, so I guess I just wondered what jumps out at you first?

I’m taking this train from Lake Baikal to Moscow this summer. Any advice?
