The audience at the November 4th Day One Luncheon listened to survivor Polly Nichols and Sara Sweet, whose father was killed in the bombing – it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
I think about the many people who experience a non-public, traumatic life-changing event, and don't have the arms of the world wrapped around them like we did here.
— Polly Nichols
Nearly 25 years later, there are still dark days. The senseless violence that took away my dad scarred me with grief so profound and complicated that it is often difficult to explain.
— Sara Sweet
