We have developed a generous and evolving partnership with the Foundation for the Promotion of Education in Vienna Austria. This video was provided by Professor Fritz and Nora Plank, who are members of this initiative’s Creation Team. They are our link to the German speaking world in the European Community.
Diverse as we think we are, living through hardship is what we all share. Were it not for our special gift to overcome and learn from impairment and life-threatening experiences, we would be truly lost. This world-wide initiative enlists help and support from women and men who themselves suffered from extreme hardship during their lives, and have grown from it. We are convinced that we can all learn from them and invite you to contribute as best as you can. This video introduces Ernst Gehmacher, now 94, who in his younger years had opposed the NAZI dictatorship. It is truly worth listening to what he has to say.
