Once upon a time, there was a rich man named Kadish. He has only one son, named Aze. Kadish's family also has a distant relative-she is an orphan girl named Aksa. Aze is a tall boy with black hair and black eyes. Aksa, on the other hand, has blue eyes and blond hair, and they are about the same age. When I was a child, I ate, read and played together. Therefore, people think it is natural to get married when they grow up. But when they grew up, Arzel suddenly fell ill. And he's never heard of it-he thought he was dead.

Where did this fantastic idea come from? Ah, it turns out that he has an old nanny who always tells him endless stories about his paradise. She said that there is no need to work or study in heaven; Eat wild beef and whale meat; Drink the holy wine prepared by God for good people; You can sleep until late in the morning; Of course, you don't have to perform your duties.

Aze is lazy by nature, unwilling to get up early and unwilling to study. He also knows that he will take over his father's family business one day, but he really doesn't want to do it.

Since the only way to go to heaven is to die, he made up his mind to die as soon as possible. Eager to die early, he soon thought he was really dead.

Needless to say, his parents are extremely worried, and Aksa is crying for it. The whole family tried their best to convince Arzel that he was still alive, but he just wouldn't listen. He always said: Why don't you bury me? Look, I'm dead. I can't go to heaven because of you.

Many doctors were invited to treat Arzel, and every doctor tried his best to convince him that he was still alive. They pointed out that he was still talking and eating. However, after a while, Aze ate less and less and talked less. So the family is worried that he will really die.

In desperation, Kadish went to consult a great medical expert who is famous for his profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom-he is Dr. Jones. After listening to Aze's description of his illness, he said to Kadish, "I promise to cure your son within eight days, but on one condition-you have to do whatever I tell you, no matter how unnatural these things seem."

Kadish readily promised, so Dr. Jones said that he would go to see Azeri that day. When Kadish returned home, he told his wife, Axa and the servants that everyone should obey the doctor's orders and never bargain.

When Dr. Joz arrived, he was taken to Azer's room. Aze was lying in bed, pale and emaciated by hunger strike.

The doctor glanced at Azeri and shouted, "Why did you put the body in the house? Why not hold a funeral? "

Hearing this, Aze's parents were shocked, but Aze suddenly brightened up and said with a big smile, "Look, am I right?"

Although Mr. and Mrs. Kadish were puzzled by what the doctor said, they remembered Kadish's promise and went to the funeral without delay.

The doctor asked to decorate a room like heaven: white silk curtains were hung on the walls of the room, blinds were installed on the windows, the low-hanging curtains were tightly covered, and candles were bright day and night. On the other hand, servants are all white and have wings on their backs, just like angels.

Aze was put in an uncovered coffin and then held a burial ceremony. Arzel was so excited and exhausted that he slept through the funeral. When he woke up, he found himself in a completely strange room. He asked, "Where did I go?"

"In heaven, my Lord." A servant with wings answered.

"I'm starving," Arzel said. "I want to eat some whale meat and holy wine."

The servant's boss clapped his hands, and then several servants and maids with wings on their backs came in, holding gold plates full of big fish and meat, as well as pomegranates, persimmons, pineapples and peaches. A tall footman with a long white beard was holding a golden goblet full of holy wine.

Aze wolfed down a delicious meal. After eating, he announced that he would have a rest. So two angels waited on him to undress and take a bath, and then carried him to the bed, which was covered with smooth and soft sheets and covered with purple velvet canopy. Aze fell asleep at once, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

When I woke up, it was morning, but it was exactly like night: the shutters on the windows were closed and the candles in the room were lit brightly. As soon as the servants saw Azeri awake, they quickly brought in the food they had eaten yesterday.

Arzel asked, "Don't you have milk, coffee and cream rolls?"

"No, sir. In heaven, we always eat the same thing. " The servant replied.

"Is it day or night?" Azeri asked.

"There is no day or night in heaven."

Then Aze began to eat fish, meat and fruit and drink holy wine, but his appetite was far less than before. After eating, he asked, "What time is it?"

"In heaven, time does not exist." The servant replied.

"What should I do now?" Azeri asked.

"Sir, there is nothing to do in heaven."

"Where do other sages who come to heaven live?" Azel heard about it.

"Every family in heaven has a difficult experience."

"Can we visit each other?"

"In heaven, home is too far away to visit. It takes thousands of years to get from one house to another. "

"When can my family come?" Azeri asked.

"Your father has 20 years to live, and your mother has 30 years. As long as they live, they can't come here. "

"What about AXA?"

"She has another 50 years to live."

"So, I have to spend these years alone?"

"That's right, sir."

A Zheng shook his head while meditating. After a while, he asked, "What is AXA going to do?"

"At this moment, she is mourning for you, but sooner or later she will forget you and go out to get married with another young man. This is the meaning of life. "

Azeri stood up and started pacing back and forth. For the first time in many years, he wanted to do something, but in his paradise, he really did nothing. He misses his father, mother and Al-Aqsa. He is eager to read something. He is eager to travel, ride horses and chat with friends.

One day, he finally couldn't hide his sadness any longer. He said to a servant, "I understand now that life is not as difficult as I thought."

"Sir, life is hard. You must study, work and do business. Here, everything is leisurely. "

"I'd rather chop wood and move stones than sit here. How long will this situation last? "

"forever."

"Stay here forever?" Aze tore his hair with grief. "I'd rather commit suicide."

"A dead man can't commit suicide any more."

On the eighth day, Azeri's depression reached its climax, and a servant came to him as scheduled and said, "Sir, all this is a mess. You are not dead, you have to leave heaven. "

"I'm still alive?"

"Yes, you are still alive, so I will send you back to Earth."

On hearing this, Azel was ecstatic. The servant blindfolded him, led him back and forth in the long corridor of the house for a long time, then took him to a room, and the whole family was waiting, so they untied the lid from his eyes.

It's a sunny day, and the sun shines through the open window. Outside in the garden, birds are singing and bees are buzzing. Azeri embraced and kissed his parents and Aksa happily. He said to Axa, "Do you still love me?"

"Of course, I love you, Azeri. How can I forget you! "

"In that case, it's time for us to get married."

Soon, the wedding was held, and of course Dr. Jones was the guest of honor. Musicians played for entertainment, guests came from distant towns to congratulate them, and everyone brought beautiful gifts to the bride and groom. The wedding celebration lasted seven days and seven nights.

Aze and Aksa are really happy and will grow old together until they grow old together. Aze also changed his lazy habit and became the most diligent businessman in the area.

It was not until after the wedding that Arzel knew how Dr. Jos cured him, and he knew that he had entered an illusory paradise that fools yearned for. In the following years, he and Axa often told their children and grandchildren stories about Dr. Yoz's skillful treatment of strange diseases. At the end of the story, they always say, "But, of course, no one can tell what heaven is like."

Don't try to find an illusory paradise in a distant place, and don't blame others for the setbacks and troubles in life. God is everywhere, and the real heaven is in your heart.

Never give up your faith.

In the Talmud, there is such a question to ask yourself and answer-

"People's eyes are made up of black and white, but why does God want people to see only through the black part?"

The book's own answer is: "Because life must go through darkness to see the light."

This passage has had a positive incentive effect on Jews from generation to generation.

During World War II, something happened in the Jewish street of a city in eastern Europe. Every time I think of it, it will make people feel deeply. At that time, this eastern European country had been occupied by German troops. One day, all the residents were gathered in a square. After the training, Nazi officers pulled out a middle-aged man who looked like a school teacher from the Jewish crowd. Officers believe that as long as teachers are willing to give up Judaism, other Jews will follow suit.

"Give up Judaism! As long as you are willing to convert, you will be guaranteed to be hot all your life. " Nazi officers announced loudly so that no one could hear them.

"I refuse." The thin teacher replied like this.

"Curse your God. As long as you curse your God, your life and your family will be protected forever."

"I refuse." The teacher's voice is calm.

"Give up Judaism and let us protect you."

"You can't." The teacher answered in a calmer voice.

"What is absolute, do you know what you are talking about now? If you are so stubborn, I'll kill you first to make an example. Again, do you want to give up Judaism or not? "

People in the square held their breath nervously and did not move, as if the world suddenly stood still; Some of them stared at the officers, some stared at the teachers, and some women even closed their eyes and dared not look, because the scene was so horrible.

"Jewish god is more important than your life? Is the Jewish God more important than your destiny in life? Fool! Ask yourself! "

"You can't change my faith."

"All you have to do is give up the Jewish god."

"I don't want it." The teacher answered with a livid face. At this time, the Nazi officer couldn't bear it any longer. He drew his pistol from the holster, straightened his right hand and aimed at the teacher. A bang hit the teacher on the shoulder. In an instant, the teacher stood unsteadily, like swimming, and fell to the ground after several dives in the air. The teacher was bleeding, but kept whispering, "God is God, and only God can."

"Pig, you dirty Jewish pig." The officer shouted angrily, "Don't you know that we are greater than your God?" Your life is not decided by God, but by me. As long as you give up Judaism, I'll send you to the hospital to cure your injury at once. Then, you can live a happy life with your family. "

"I don't want it." The teacher gasped and answered.

The officer stood upright as if in a daze. In a twinkling, everyone saw that the officer's face was full of frightened expressions. Then he raised his pistol and shot at the teacher lying on the ground. One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots ... In the rumble of gunfire, everyone heard the teacher's "Don't ... Don't ..." Intermittent refusal. Finally the teacher died.

Since the biblical era, Jews have been persecuted everywhere, but Jews have never given up their identity and beliefs. No matter what kind of adversity you are in, you should always maintain strong resistance.

My heart is always full of hope.

There is a fairy tale called "Flying Horse in the Sky" in the Talmud.

In ancient times, a man was sentenced to death for offending the king. The man asked the king for forgiveness. He said, "As long as you give me 1 year, I can let your favorite horse fly into the sky. If your horse can't fly freely in the sky after 1 year, I would rather be executed than complain. "

The king thought about it and agreed with him.

When he returned to his cell, another prisoner said to him, "Stop talking nonsense, will you? How can a horse fly into the sky? "

The man replied, "within this year, maybe the king will die, maybe I will die of illness, maybe the horse died of an accident." Anyway, who knows what will happen within this year? So as long as there is a year, maybe horses can really fly into the sky! "

Losing money is only half a lifetime; But if you lose courage, you lose everything.

Throughout the history of Jewish displacement, there is an optimistic spirit everywhere. It can be said that it is precisely because of this optimistic spirit and full of hope that the Jewish nation can survive. For Jews, courage and hope are deeply buried in their hearts, and no one can take them away.

I want to live on.

Marti comes from Prague and was born in 19 18. She and her two brothers had a happy childhood. Her Hungarian father and German mother own a small department store, selling leather and ordering jewelry. Her father wanted her to go to a girls' school, so she entered a nearby monastery. It was a Roman Catholic school, and she was the only Jew among 500 students.

When Marti 15 years old, she fell in love with a handsome guy 10 years older than her and got married. Although her father has a preliminary opinion, their married life is still very happy. Their youngest son Pat was born in 1938.

/kloc-one day in 0/942, Marti's happy world fell apart after receiving an order that the whole family was sent to a Jewish "special residence".

Marti, her husband and her youngest son Pat were sent to a concentration camp in the Czech Republic called Lesiens. She lives in a very small room with Pat, four other mothers and seven children. Her husband lived in another barracks, and later they were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. At that time, the only food distributed all day was a bowl of potato skin soup and a small piece of bread. In the cold winter, she only has a cotton shirt and skirt to cover herself.

When General Patton's troops destroyed Hamburg, 5000 people were needed to clean up the ruins. Her husband came to her and said, "Look, if you stay here, you have no chance to live. Why doesn't Pat stay here with me? "

At that time, you had to be chosen naked in front of the SS. After being selected, she needs to take a three-day train to Hamburg, where she is so hungry that she wants to go to the trash can to find food.

Marty tried to escape, but she was caught back and beaten, and her work was aggravated. On April 1945, 1, she was transferred to Bergenberson, where there was nothing but a piece of bread that was poisoned and made people sick every day provided by the SS.

On April 15, the British army liberated Bergenberson, and Marti helped to carry the bodies lying everywhere so that the tanks could pass smoothly. * * * 50,000 people lived to see the light, and 25,000 people failed to make it to the end, so they couldn't stand it and died in custody.

Marti lost three relatives in the Jewish Holocaust: her husband and parents. To this day, she still doesn't know the whereabouts of her son Pat Ritchie.

She arrived in the United States on 1945, remarried four times-including 1 time, and was widowed three times, and never had any more children. Not long ago, Marti participated in a program video produced by Steven Allan Spielberg, which recorded the story of Holocaust survivors, so that the world would never forget this history.

A few years ago, Marti went to Israel's Avehn Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem to look for Pat's name in the name tag. She found his name on the list and noticed that Pat was last seen in Bergenbieson. Today, Marti still holds the hope that her son is still alive, and she has made countless efforts to find him.

However, Marti has always been strong. She said: "I will continue to live. When one door closes, another door will open, and I just want to keep going. "

Fighting in the waves of life, it is inevitable to get hurt, and those who endure the pain will succeed. Remember: when one door closes, another door will open!

Love life and never complain.

During World War II, there was a little Jewish girl named Martha in the Nazi concentration camp. She wrote this poem:

I must save money these days, although I have no money to save;

I must preserve enough health and strength to support me for a long time;

I must save my nerves, my thoughts, my heart and my spiritual fire;

I must keep my tears,

I have needed them for a long time.

I must be patient. In these stormy days,

In my life, I have too many needs-

Emotional warmth and kind heart,

I lack all these things,

I have to keep these,

All this is a gift from God, and I hope it can be preserved.

How sad I will be if I lose them soon.

A little girl is still so brave in those uncertain days. She loves life and never complains. She is optimistic, open-minded and strong. What is not worth learning?

Patience is a virtue; Perseverance is the mother of all hope. No matter what the situation, we should love life and hold hope.
