Malka, a 99 year old Holocaust survivor in my husband’s family, just died.
She was the second wife of a man whose first wife and child were murdered in Treblinka.
When we call out white supremacists and antisemitism, we aren’t talking about abstract dangers or ancient history.

We really do need to keep reminding ourselves, and our children of how bad things can get.
Danae: I've gotta tell ya, mister... that's an awfully boring tattoo on your arm. It's just a bunch of numbers. Man: Well, I was about your age when I got it, and I kept it as a reminder. Danae: Oh... a reminder of happier days? Man: No... of a time when the world went mad. Danae: So you kept it to remind yourself about the dangers of political extremism? Man: No, my dear. To remind you. "Imagine yourself in a land where your countrymen followed the voice of political extremists who didn't like your religion. Imagine having everything taken from you, your entire family sent to a concentration camp as slave laborers, then systematically murdered. In this place, they even take your name and replace it with a number tattooed on your arm. It was called the Holocaust, when millions of people perished just because of their faith..."
@nilikm So true.
May her memory be a blessing to all and may your family find peace
