A Holocaust Poem

The Creed of a Holocaust Survivor

by Alexander Kimel

I do believe, with all my heart, In the natural Goodness of Man. Despite the blood and destruction, Brought by one man, trying to be God, In the Goodness of Man, I do believe. I do believe, with all my heart, That God gave man the blessing and the curse. Man can select the curse of envy, hatred and prejudices, Or the blessing of love, harmony and beauty. Despite the painful curses of the past, In the blessing of the Creator, I do believe. I do believe, with all my heart, That God created a beautiful world, The sun and the trees, the flowers and the bees. And the best way to serve God, is To enjoy the fruits of His labor of love. Despite the painful memories from the past, In the joyful celebration of life, I do believe. I do believe with all my heart, That God has created man in image of His own. And killing of man, is like killing of God. Despite the massacres in Rwanda, the cleansing in Bosnia, The folly of Muslim fanatics, and the cruelty of Pot Pol. In the love and compassion of the Creator, I do believe. I believe with all my heart, That the Messiah and the Kingdom of Heaven will come; When man will conquer his destructive urge, And learn how to live in harmony with nature and himself. When all the preachers of hate will be silenced, And man will become his brother's keeper. When man will stop killing man, in the name of God, And nation will not lift weapons against nation. When it will be, I do not know, but Despite all the signs to the contrary. In the dawn of a Better World, I do believe. (Taken from http://kimel.net/poetry.html)

Spreading the Word: Locker Signs

Since Live for Love is a relatively new movement, not many people know about it.  Therefore, I challenge all of those who identify themselves as members of Live for Love (basically anyone who believes in what we are trying to accomplish) to spread the word about the anti-hate movement.  There are many ways that one can accomplish that challenge.  Just get creative. (As long as your creativity is legal, that is.)

One easy way to advertise is to make locker signs.


Try to make your signs eye-catching.  Make them any (legal) way that you want.  Tape them to the outside of your locker, and there you have it.  A simple, yet hopefully effective form of advertisement.

Note:  You should probably make sure that at least one of your locker signs has our blog's web address written somewhere on it, otherwise the advertisement is pointless. www.anti-hatemovement.blogspot.com
