Please take a moment and honor my great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack. During this fraught time in the world, when authoritarianism is worryingly on the rise, her story is more topical and urgent than ever. May her courage be an inspiration to you.

This book is like the "Negro Motorist Green Book" but for Jews. It wasn’t that long ago there were many laws in the US dictating where Jews could vacation & own property. Many laws lasted through the 1970s. Yet today Jews are called privileged and excluded from DEI groups.
Congratulations @GovernorVA for creating jobs…. in Michigan! Gov turned down a 3.5 billion @Ford plant in Southside Virginia to protect us all from China. Hard working Virginians lose out again from a person who made millions in China. Unbelievable.
And don’t bother telling me it’s too early to “politicize” the Michigan State University mass shooting. In a nation that allows gun lobbyists to write our gun laws, shootings are always political. Prayers without action aren’t fixing this. ACT. #michiganstate

This is beyond upsetting. Holocaust denial & antisemitic conspiracy theories aimed to attack the legitimacy of Anne Frank are hate speech, plain and simple. At a time when her diary is threatened from existing in libraries, we must emphasize the importance of Holocaust education.
