| how nice, | 0:07 | |

| so many of the former prisoners are. | 0:12 | |
| Now I don't mean, that's not universal. | 0:14 | |

| in the first place | 0:23 | |

| 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 |
