10:42 am
i mean will see what i mean for me. i am to yourself and i mean in a program in all the kansas presence called reaching out from within and. the national recidivism statistics are between 50 and 67 percent of all of the many women who are released will return at least once. on our program if you attend between 16 more meetings at me and said little more than a year. it drops to 8 percent. there
10:43 am
are some rituals connected with reaching out from within there are very important promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of modern progress the optimist creed we finish with every night through every group we finish with that we want to leave with at least a thought or feeling that if you just believe that things are going to be all right that. that's a big majority of things being all right. so here i am having coffee and. reading a newspaper about the closing of a shopping center and they are interviewing sonia and the interviewer is saying to her you've lost so many things in your life you've had so many disappointments how do you face the world every day. and she said if you look up on the wall so we'll see the optimists creed and when i come in every morning that's the 1st thing that i can and i thought to myself sonia and the optimist create the
10:44 am
prisoners and the optimist creed i have to bring them together. as a nation for. the poor at the. moment for the for the trip of. your mama you know if you try. to. do this because of global was 'd going to have to eat so that it you always august of all stuff looks like a possible new sport. and you'll find a more full book about. the love. of schmaltz
10:45 am
because. as the democrats gear up to officially start their 2020 presidential primary it is fitting to assess donald trump's performance in office a report card of sorts where is he kept his promises where is he come up short will any of this really matter. then you can know it was really like to be inhaled. because he would never believe it well that it's a human can do to have as. one day that i was working in the
10:46 am
fields one day and can't come said with a problem that could amount to the ashes we're spreading the ashes as a fertilizer and i can tell you they spreading those you know with their so i could see the little pieces of bones which even in the kind of mud tortilla it couldn't completely and this was very difficult to me until today i still live with this save me a kick in the. pinny parties. to exterminate through race. this is really the injury was when he was beating me up in my room making it more now i can make it i can make it out. so you got to remember to look at these numbers on my server see the number are. there when i seen. it made me say yeah. i never knew who did not
10:47 am
see me somebody like that we have to come to this understanding it is what you are insight. not to george you how you look or you know what is your religion but as a person what a person you. experience is everything. to me takes people who have been through something to reach people who who are going through something. i mean there's some people who go out and do crazy things hurt others because they're hard and they don't think the days will get better form. and when you say oh. if you look at her as you see. things are good for her now then my gave you the courage to say you know. i'm not going to what i was thinking about i don't. how do you find forgiveness.
10:48 am
forgiveness is a very important act in normal life but i came to a conclusion myself there are so low there seem forgiveness what i have seen people dying hanging him burning children sometimes from the pile they're burned i would say the people who asked about this burnt i cannot even begin to tell you who am i to say that i forgive you know this has to come from a higher place for a lot different place but forgiveness should be picked is. to put do love in your heart try to help you become like a different person i see the parole board in 6 months or so. hopefully i'll be. you know contribute something. every
10:49 am
time that around. i hope it's all of you in time we'll be in freedom. but enough to don't never to come back to this place either and like i say still mad the war stay all that i've mentioned to you and there's. a way thank you so wonderful come here goes due to us not only me but a lot of these guys in here that you've given me more strength after 32 years of being here makes me want. to get out here so i appreciate you coming here thank you i really really. make out. that. when i get out on the
10:50 am
5 i'm sol you know was there an excuse so he can listen and hopefully be bless. her experience. straight up because i believe he's dead bob did a course free 32 years and nothing. compared with it at all this was your mother both of yesteryear. it would kill me just how much the dr was in here. this i don't think i could. see so a lot to offer by. the . way seriously so you. were serious. there coming into. your. worship now while you are getting your message know
10:51 am
that. if i'm right you will make it this is you know the strong things don't come. to jesus you can be very small by the. in the winter 944 my mom was forced on a desk march from auschwitz to the notorious for going bills and. this brings us to how the war ended for my mom when british troops approached her camp. and what happened between her and then s.s. guard on her last day of captivity. they're relating to it and they're thinking about themselves and their families and so i feel an obligation now and it's an obligation that i'm glad to do now and honestly i feel
10:52 am
privileged. i really feel privileged. that i can do this you know i mean to me. and it means to me there and i wish that my father. i wish that he. had enough. when he was. you and i are speaking on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of one of the camps that you were in bergen belsen so it was a very. it was a happy day. that
10:53 am
is very clear tonight dude leach innocent. people could hear the prisoner's computer and feel the ground vibrating and they could hear the tanks coming closer and closer they me this was a liberation. so of course they were almost starving even if you kitchen area where my mother was working. there were still a couple of us cards that were. in the cars for trying to stop them and as. the bullets came in right she and it sentiment in my house and it came through. clothes from and the next. and then girls with this from the same wallet
10:54 am
10:55 am
10:56 am
so you know obviously facts a lot of people and when she talks to people they say they want to do something about it and they want to make it she. thought that it was important that i actually didn't think instead of just talking . so my name is caroline kennedy i'm from kansas city and i just graduated from high school. so i met sonia when i was in 8th grade and her story changed
10:57 am
my life and completely changed my outlook on what i want to do. with her one individual story was all it took to inspire me to go and start this organization. that's really the whole idea because one person has the power to impact one person has a power to impact one person and it's a huge chain reaction. i mean if you think about it sonia coming to my school had an impact on all of you now and so maybe me coming to your school will have an impact on other people in the future.
10:58 am
if this outbreak really highlights that our system for global governance is weak and i doubt not only is it international health regulations which dozens of countries are currently violating but it's just the broader system in which we tackle these challenges and i think this highlights we need to do better in the future i mean for one thing i certainly am when so many countries are breaking international health regulations to make sense to revisit that instruments after this outbreak is over but also our system more broadly for how we govern those challenges that transcend national borders. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi else
10:59 am
asked i'm aware of that. leverage at. all you know. and you can never forget what they're going now auschwitz was really like to be inhaled because you would never believe it was a human ghetto to have as a copy of it course for 30 years and opened the cupboard it had all seen so a lot offered by the side to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you know what more song to heard next the also you can listen in the hope for the bless my heart hurts me.
11:00 am
big stories of the last 7 days. earlier today the croatian capital hit with the strongest earthquake in a 114 years seeing people fleeing buildings and on to the streets despite public restrictions on going. i'm talking about the e.u. in the week shut its borders for a month to limit the spread of. imposing the strictest measures. anybody leaving the scene is also being told that the meat. is to stay.
