Hope

Hugo Grin, a man in England, survived Auschwitz as a child. On Chanukah, in the camp, he saw his father using their precious margarine ration to light the Chanukah candles. 

Hugo protested: “Father, this is food and there is not much to go around. Surely eating is more important than the chanukiah this year!” 

His father replied, “One can survive three weeks without eating, three days without drinking, but one cannot go three minutes without hope.”
