Finding Olympic Gold In Forgiveness
by Mary Writer on Thursday, August 2nd, 2012
This Olympian athlete takes the real gold!
Runner Louis Zamperini went from juvenile thug to high school track star to the 1936 Olympics where he finished eighth in the 5000 meter distance event (when he was just 19 years old).
The Olympics were in Berlin, Germany that year and Adolph Hitler was so impressed with Zamperini’s performance that he requested a meeting with him. Zamperini had no idea that the meeting with Hitler would be just the beginning of his personal involvement with World War II…
Six years later, while serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces, Zamperini spent two years as a tortured prisoner of war.
In this video, he shares how it was a meeting with the Reverend Billy Graham that really taught him how to survive!
Author Laura Hillenbrand spent seven years researching and writing her bestselling book "Unbroken, a moving portrait of a heroic subject, Louis Zamperini, now 94. Yet during all those years, while learning all the details of his gallant life - the Olympic track star, the World War II hero, the Christian role model - she never once met him.
They account for their mutual understandings as survivors of enormous suffering - Zamperini, who during the war was adrift on a raft in the Pacific Ocean after his B-14 went down and was then tortured for the duration of the war by a sadistic Japanese prison guard; and Hillenbrand, who was struck in mid-life by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, making it often impossible for her to get out of bed, let alone write.
