Haiti Partners
Kent Annan
When Kent Annan heard about the earthquake in Haiti, he immediately began making plans to go there. As co-director of the organization Haiti Partners, he’s invested years in improving education there. Kent talks with Dick Gordon about what he saw once he landed on the ground. In just one overnight trip, Kent managed to see and interview some of his closest friends and contacts. We’ll listen to some of those interviews. Kent’s Haitian friends say they’re sleeping outside, counting their blessings, worrying about their sick kids, and wondering how Haiti will ever recover. Â

Auschwitz Forgiven
Eva Kor
Today is the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It has become known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Eva Kor is at the camp in Poland today with a group of teachers, students, and others. Eva was one of the twins who survived the experiments of Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele at Auschwitz. For years she was filled with anger and hatred over her ordeal. But meeting a Nazi doctor changed everything. She forgave that man, and even forgave Dr. Mengele. But her decision doesn’t sit well with some Holocaust survivors. Eva talks with Dick about her experiences during the Holocaust and how forgiveness changed her life.
