“Farewell, my Cracow, / Farewell, / Horse and wagons are waiting in front of my house. / The wild enemy drives me out / Like one drives a dog / Without mercy away from you.” - written on October 24, 1940 by Jewish poet Mordechai Gebürtig when forced to leave his home.

The rise of antisemitic attacks should alarm all of us. Antisemitism and bigotry - like all forms of hate - have no place in our world, and it’s on each of us to combat this growing threat. @POTUS is right to take on this issue, and he deserves our support. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

My book, The Atrocity of Hunger, opens with a painful diary entry dated May 5, 1944. It is too long to quote here but the words have haunted me for years.
