O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not rember all the suffering they have inflicted on us; remember the fruits we have brought , thanks to this suffering-our comradeship. our loyalty, our humility our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown out of all this, and when they come to judgement let all the fruits that which we have bore be their forgiveness.
Prayer written by an unknown prisoner in Ravensbruk concentration camp and left by the body of a dead child.
