Marietta Wright's earliest memories are framed by tragedy and trauma.
Wright vividly recollects that, when she was a child living in Holland, Nazis worked to exterminate Jews that she counted as friends and neighbors. Her parents hid the Jewish members of their community within their home--and in so doing became the targets of Nazi hostilities.
What motivated the Wright family to risk life and livelihood to defend their neighbors? Where did the strength come from to confront evil? How did Marietta find it in her heart to forgive the atrocities that she came to see as part of her daily existence?
Today's powerful Kingdom Culture Conversation follows a special chapel at Northwest Christian School in which the 85-year-old Marietta Wright told her story to 6th through 12th grade students. Following the chapel, students compiled a list of questions that they had for Mrs. Wright. And, in today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, Marietta answers those questions.
In the episode, G references a wonderful piece of art that Marietta painted for the school. You can see that piece here.
