Longread #122 -- The Strength to Carry On -- 7/26/12

Here's another Olympics-themed article in light of the Opening Ceremonies in London tomorrow. It is an extremely powerful story of someone who survived the concentration camps in World War II to later become an Olympic athlete. More importantly, it depicts his ongoing focus on giving back and trying to find ways to make the world a better place (as cliche as that may sound).
