What’s missing?

Dear Teacher,I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: gas chambers built by learned engineers; children poisoned by educated physicians; infants killed by trained nurses; women and babies shot by high school and college graduates.So, I am suspicious of education.My request is: help your students to become more human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated Eichmanns.Reading, writing and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more human.

Vision …the star by which you navigate
