Survival through Humor

In honor of Adar, an article about how humor can get a person through even the most difficult situations. 

"Holocaust survivor Emil Fackenheim said, 'We kept our morale through humor,' and many other survivors of the Holocaust, POW camps, torture and abuse have shared his sentiment. The stories of these survivors and findings of modern medical research support the notion that humor is an extremely effective tool for managing our advanced awareness and for creating new perspectives to cope with otherwise unbearable environments or circumstances."
