Inspire Quotes

There is a very personal reason we post this item. Perhaps, it resonates with you too. Recently, I went to a Holocaust Museum.  

My guide stated: In 1930 Lithuania, about 10% of its population were Jews...about 200,000 people. 180,000 of them were killed. Of the 180,000 killed, what people don't realize was that about 140,000 were killed in their own town...typically by gun shot. Only 40,000 died outside of town at concentration camps, etc. It was pointed out that a rifle shot can be heard 3 miles away. Every time a Jew was shot and killed, so more than 140,000 times, people in Lithuania heard the sound....but they did nothing...the population of "locals" was much larger than the number of "Nazi's"....yet, the locals did nothing to stop the killing....and in just one country there were 180,000 Jews killed.

Hopefully, we can learn from this experience. However, the news today questions that is happening. If there is an issue you, or your organization, feel strongly about - could be a social issue, a local issue, whatever revs your engine, you can purchase this. 

The words: Choose to MAKE A DIFFERENCE will be on the top two lines. You can add your organization name, a person's name, a date, whatever.
