#OurStory
When we share our stories, we learn and connect. My story becomes yours. Your story becomes mine.
We go through life adding to our own narratives while learning from others’ stories. If we’re lucky, we momentarily glimpse the world through someone else’s eyes. We recognize our differences but often find we’re far more similar that we thought.
We connect. We empathize. And we continue to share.
#OurStory is a new project to collect and share a few of these stories.
Inspired by an outpouring of response to sharing my grandfather’s story of survival on Twitter, I’ve been reaching out to those who were kind enough to share their stories with me.
Now, I’d like to share them with you.
Here is the first in the series, a story of a Christian family in post-World War II North Korea by Edward Oh.
The second entry in the series is about Marion Pritchard, a Dutch rescuer of Jewish children during The Holocaust.
