Well, we're doing double claiming this time, so even if one person had claimed it before you, you could still claim it.
And you got the quote I was hoping someone would get early on, because this woman impresses me and chokes me up so much.
48)One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world. --Hannah Senesh (or Chana Szenes) (1921-1944), Hungarian-born Palestinian Jew who volunteered to be trained by the British to be a rescue commando. She parachuted into Yugoslavia with the intent of crossing into Nazi-occupied Hungary and rescuing the Hungarian Jews who were about to be taken away to the death camp of Auschwitz. She was captured and tortured, but refused to tell anything about the remaining commandos. She was tried for treason and executed by firing squad.
