Dana K.’s Pin

This pin reminds me that the world is filled with people with genuine love and respect for humankind. 

I received this pin when I started volunteering at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

There, I was surrounded by folks from all walks of life, so open-minded and compassionate. It gave me space to develop meaningful conversations and friendships, which was so important to me after I felt distant from some of my non-Jewish peers.

As I wear my pin now, I recognize that it's my duty to reach out to others who may not have a strong sense of belonging to a community.
