Mitch Albom: ‘We have to have a moral compass’

"We live in a time where everybody just picks the truth they want to believe via the internet. Here in the States, we have three major cable news channels, and each one has its own political slant."

Mitch Albom: "It’s critically important we discern that there’s only one real truth. Everything else is people’s take on it."

Would you lie to save your family? I would. In a heartbeat. What if it meant sending innocent people to their deaths? That changes things, doesn’t it?

This is the premise of Mitch Albom’s new novel, set in Greece during the Holocaust. An unintended lie leads Jewish families towards their death at Auschwitz.
