"Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears." --Arthur Koestler

Fearless Heroes

"Caraggio!" Courage! To a woman trapped in a Hitler's torture camp, "caraggio" brought hope and strength in the face of certain death.

It is a great person who can make that word into a mantra to survive. And after the miracle of being rescued; it is an even greater person who keeps going back, in order to save another tortured soul. Ginetta Sagan has celebrated 45 years liberating others. She is Courage. She has been personally responsible for the release of political prisoners in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Latin America and South Africa. 6,000 prisoners in Vietnam have been set free due to Ginetta's unrelenting campaigns.
