- | We were slightly amazed at how, | 0:03 |
how nice, | 0:07 | |
how unbitter, how intelligent, and how eloquent | 0:08 | |
so many of the former prisoners are. | 0:12 | |
Now I don't mean, that's not universal. | 0:14 | |
There are people very seriously damaged | 0:15 | |
by what happened to them. | 0:17 | |
And there are people who are not necessarily that nice, | 0:18 | |
you know, and they maybe weren't that nice | 0:21 | |
in the first place | 0:23 | |
or they may have been okay, | 0:24 | |
and have been really damaged | 0:25 | |
by what happened to them. | 0:27 | |

to them into something that, | 0:50 | |
helped them grow as | 0:53 | |
people. | 0:56 | |
And some of that's related to their, | 0:57 | |
you know their understanding of their religion. | 0:59 | |
That they would test it by our law. | 1:01 | |
And that, that actually, that is a kind of blessing | 1:03 | |
that was bestowed upon them. | 1:06 | |
The opportunity to go through this suffering, to grow. | 1:08 |
