Wow, way to make me cry.
"Please do not turn me into a hero. I do not feel like a hero. In fifty years I have never forgotten, not even for a single day, that I am a survivor. As a survivor I do not need to be thanked, but I thank all of you." - Simon Wiesenthal
I don't even know why I'm awake right now, but I just finished watching this fantastic documentary about Simon Wiesenthal (a Holocaust survivor who spent the rest of his life bringing Nazi war criminals to justice) called I Have Never Forgotten You
. It's pretty fascinating stuff, so if you can find a copy near you (or stream it on Netflix, like I did), I'd highly recommend it.
Man, I don't know if I can go to sleep now.

And in other news, two other documentaries I've enjoyed lately are Etoiles - Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet
and Ballerina
. Yes, I'm going through a ballet/dance phase again. Good times :D Which reminds me, I haven't gone to the ballet in ages. Hrm, I must rectify that...
