Hi there. My name is Eve Marco. To be honest, I'm not crazy about talking about bearing witness retreats, especially the one at Auschwitz Bilka now, because that retreat is so based on not knowing, and which means letting go of not only just what we know or what we've read or what I've seen about Auschwitz, but also any kind of expectations or what other people got there, and am I going to get the same thing? So it's not about that. But I'll tell you what it's not about. It's not about the historical event of almost 100 years ago, what happened to a certain group of people and the people who hurt them and who were the perpetrators. I think that's how many tourists look at it, and you see a lot of them. They look away. They want to get out of there. But I used to sit in the middle of the fire that is Auschwitz and encounter something very alive about my own life. The things that scare me, the things that heal me. It's an international retreat because of the different qualities we bring with us, different social and cultural and religious differences, the very things that the Nazis once wanted to destroy. We discover experientially that those are the very things that heal us. S that's what I discovered again and again and again. The retreat clearly changed my life back in the 1990s, and since then, it's changed many other lives. Well,
