"I have a message for the youth! Don't smoke! Stop! I tried one cigarette and I was addicted!", said Holocaust survivor, Rosa Blum, in her thick Romanian accent.

At 16, after she had been released from Auschwitz concentration camp, Rosa had moved in with her brother in Germany. He had given her some cartons of cigarettes to sell on the black market and make some money. Times were tough after the WWII.

One night, when Rosa was feeling down and alone at her brother's apartment, she decided to smoke one and see if that would help.

"THE WORLD IS DYING FOR LOVE." (by Henry Doorman)...

Words lived out by Harold Elliott, a pioneer of police chaplaincy


On November 1, 2018, as Police Chaplain Harold Elliott with Arlington PD was "living his line, from one point to another," pulmonary fibrosis was zapping his energy. Yet, in the midst of it all, he was still willing to give me one more interview.
