Only eighty years and no lessons learned - we are on the cusp of history in repeat - it can and will happen here - the victims are different - the hatred unchanging - a scapegoat to blame...

0y. Join the resistance. Don't let them get away with their lies. cast out the insurrectionists of 2020 and 2024 (who should have been banned from office).

Your curiosity propelled you to learn. You don’t say here if you had family still in Germany who were involved. Your parents chose to live in an area largely populated by those from whom you learned. In our Ohio Jewish family, with my dad (z”l) who fought in Europe, there were whispers so the “kinder” wouldn’t hear. The neighbors who were Jewish too had numbers tattooed. I must’ve been told at some point why. You and I lived and learned this. Today the lessons of this, Japanese Internment Camps, Black people brought in chains to servitude, are increasingly not taught. The lessons today vilify those who want a better life who risk life to get to the US only to be sent away, handcuffed. We Boomers must tell the stories we learned and compare today’s irrational hate with the past. Thank you for this.
