I have long been impressed by what some survivors of concentration camps must have had that others didn’t. And then I read a book by a concentration camp survivor named Victor Frankyl and he explained how it happened, at least from his experience and point of view. He tells how those who survived were not necessarily stronger, fact of the matter many of them were physically weaker.

Then how did they survive?

By concerning themselves with the survival of others. These messengers of compassion would wander from hut to hut giving out encouragement and portions of their own small food supply.

They were starving to death and they would break off a piece of bread and give it to someone who looked much worse off. Their sense of otherness helped others but it helped them even more.

Oh, they were slaves. Their names were on the concentration camp books to prove it. But inside where it counted they were still free.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
