I read this story earlier this week, and I’ve been meaning to post it here since then.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what real survival is about, check out this piece from the Associated Press. It is a harrowing yet inspiring tale of two men whose lives were forever linked by evil on the most unimaginable scale. They somehow survived and managed to find one another 65 years later.

There is survival—living through a car crash, a surgery, things like that—and then there is survival, when you can live through something so unspeakable that it endangers your spirit as much as your body.

These men have been to a place and seen things that only those who were there can understand.

They are survivors of the latter type.
