    Jews are forever victims.

    Awesome! we found one of the Holocaust survivors from 100 years ago to tell us what we all already know.
    Out of the millions of UNVAXXED covid survivors that still won’t get vaxxed?
    Media can’t find a single one.

    It was Russia that did over 90% of the work to fight the Nazis and to free the concentration camp survivors.

    I love how Trevor becomes a proper young man and shows such respect to his elder. Sweet.

    As a Dutch person, I think it’s a disgrace that we don’t learn the work of people like Umberto Eco, so that we can recognise fascism and prevent it. We even have a fairly openly fascist party in parliament at the moment.

    We need more work like this woman’s book. We need to remember.
