Explore forgiveness through real-life stories

Bjørn Magnus Jacobsen Ihler
"I believe that we have to recognize Breivik’s humanity. I find people’s efforts to dehumanize him really scary because that’s what he tried to do to us."
Geoff Thompson
"Forgiveness is pragmatic. It offers a real and lasting vengeance."
Robi Damelin
"I also recognized through this process that I was no longer a victim because my life was not contingent on what this man did."
Salimata Badji Knight
