Late 1970’s: A Japanese Friend sends Sandy Spieler a booklet titled Give Me Water. It is the account of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As the cities burned trees, houses, bodies the people ran to the water screaming “give me water, give me water!”
Spieler hears this as a deep cry propelling her into many years of work about water, and about peace.
