When Oskar Schindler was asked why he sacrificed his fortune and risked his freedom and his life to help Jewish families in Krakow, he responded, “I know the people who would work for me. When you know people, you have to behave toward them like human beings.”
Empathy begins with knowing someone.
This coincides with Dr. Karen Osterman’s research at Hofstra University. Osterman summarizes her research by saying “The more I know about you, the less likely I think of hurting you.”
We must close the human gap. We must become known.
