What was it like for you to volunteer at Magen David Adom?
Eric: On one of our shifts, we took an older woman in the ambulance. When she held out her arm we saw that there was a number on it. Out of respect I didn’t say anything, but I was in a state of shock, treating someone who survived the Holocaust. She saw my face and realized I had seen the number. She asked where I was from and I told her I was from Spain, and she told me she was born in Poland. That really stunned me.

I sensed that through this kind of ambition and willingness to compromise, issues from human rights abuses to climate change would fade away.
