This video made me weep. The old man in it survived life at two Nazi death camps (if I remember correctly from NPR last night) and returned with his daughter and grandchildren to dance on the grounds.
At one point he's leading a conga line, and the enormity of the horrors that went on in the spaces around him made me start to cry.
Some people find it offensive that anyone would ever dance where Hitler sent so many to die, but I find it powerful and filled with hope.
At the very end, near the 4 minute mark, he--the survivor--gives his take on the whole deal.
