"...history is an edit war. Truth, factual and moral, hangs in the balance."

@dangillmor My grandfather spent years in a Fascist PoW camp; now I live in a city where almost 100,000 of us were dragged out of their homes by Nazis, to meet miserable deaths in concentration camps.

This woman, Ksenia Coffman, is performing a service for the world. All hail.
