Forgiving Hitler

After surviving unbelievable horrors in war-torn Hungary, Kitty escaped to Vienna and then as a refugee to Australia. It was there, years later, that she was visited by Ken Short, the minister of a local church...

As their conversation went on Kitty found herself explaining to Ken how she felt that she didn't belong. She didn't belong to Hungary any longer, and she only belonged to Australia as a late-arrival, not a native; she didn't belong to the Jews; she didn't belong to the Roman Catholics - she didn't belong anywhere. That was how she felt. Although her mother was still alive, her father and all her male relatives had been killed in the death camps. If she had gone back to Budapest she would have found not one single living relative there.

'You are God's child', replied Ken, 'and he sent his one and only Son, Jesus, into this world to rescue you - to reclaim you, to forgive you, and to change you. What you need to do is trust the God who loves you like that.'
