Dear Teacher; I am a survivor of a concentration camps . My eyes saw what no man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children Poisonedby educated physicians. Children Poison by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates. So I am suspicious of education. My request is to help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated Eichmanns. Reading, writing arithmetic are important ONLY Reading, writing arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children MORE HUMAN if they serve to make our children more human 37. When I was young and f ree and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. 38. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somehow and decided to change only my country. . 39. B it too ut seemed immovable!. 40. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled f or changing only my f amily , those closer to me, but alas, they would have none of it. 41. And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realized: If I had only changed myself f irst, then by example I would have changed my f amily. 42. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the WOR . LD! 43. Ot her Legal Bases 44.
