Dear List,
Recently, the book "The Years of Extermination" was added to the
collection. I noticed this book was flagged as having adult
content. From the books premise, I can kind of understand why,
but I really wish that classification were changed. For one
thing, its a Pulitzer Prize winner, and I think everyone should
have access to it. For another, it is one of the only (though
not the only) really extensive books on the holocaust (that goes
into specifics) I can find in braille, and it is a subject I'm
interested in.

It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because
I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely
relationships were ever present. It is quite easy for me to
think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my
uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances. It is
quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism
about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences.
It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes
without taking in account the psychological and historical
factors that play upon the individual.

True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as
important a place in their lives, and above all in their
destinies, as that which they do.
--Victor Hugo
It is not true that the saints and the great contemplatives never
loved created things, and had no understanding or appreciation of
the world, with its sights and sounds and the people living in
it. They loved everything and everyone.
