After surviving the concentration camps of WWII he faced a year of isolation w/ tuberculosis. It was his year of isolation that he credited for saving his life a second time and opening his mind to the world of poetry and literature.

Samuel Pisar wrote in his memoir, “Thanks to tuberculosis, thanks to literature, I would be reborn once more.”

If he could find solace and rebirth in a year of isolation, after surviving the concentration camps, I think we can all agree to be good rule followers and good citizens and self-isolate for two weeks, and continue to remain home as long as necessary.

Samuel Pisar's step-son, my friend's brother, just got named Secretary of State. This is a great step for America and this story should serve as inspiration for all Americans.
Please #StayHome. It's the most American thing you can do this Thanksgiving. 🇺🇸
