I am writing an article about hope for a magazine and I found your post by googling "the power of hope to keep prisoners alive." I would like to use part of this story "as is" for my article, may I have your permission to do that? Amy I really appreciate this post.

The lipsticks got out, and suddenly, the prisoners were reminded of a life beyond the walls of Bergen-Belsen, before there was a war. Suddenly, everyone was wearing lipstick.

Thanks for sharing this. I have heard of this story before and was equally intrigued, also reminds me of a quote by Frank Lloyd Wright; Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities. When we see beautiful things, they say that we get the same sensation in the brain as when we find things that are essential to "survive." It is nothing but all the pleasures of life that keep us really alive... let's keep flowers in our houses in this hard time :) Hi amy! Thanks for sharing this.
