Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara and his wife Yukiko spent 18 - 20 hours a day writing and signing transit visas for over 6,000 Jews from July 31 to August 28, 1940. When the time came for them to depart, Sugihara said, "Please forgive me. I cannot write anymore. I wish you the best."

Sugihara and his wife are responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jews, with an estimated 100,000+ descendants. On October 4, 1984, Yad Vashem recognized Chiune Sugihara as Righteous Among the Nations.

The bodies of 12 Paiute children have been found in unmarked graves at a Utah Indian boarding school.

Where’s the media coverage? Where’s the public outrage? Why doesn’t anyone care about what happened to our children?

[Katharine Graham @GrahaKitgraham]

@LakotaMan1 I care.

[Katharine Graham @GrahaKitgraham]

@LakotaMan1 They probably had no idea how many lived here.

[Katharine Graham @GrahaKitgraham]

@LakotaMan1 A little of both. Europeans discovered a country already occupied by indigenous natives, and proceeded to invade it.

@mhdksafa Ban trophy hunting.

[Katharine Graham @GrahaKitgraham]

@LakotaMan1 Not offended at all.

Your quarterly reminder that Native people have been living on this continent 23,000 years (conservative estimate) — longer than white people.

@LakotaMan1 That isn’t in there. A lot of so-called Christians are more Pharisee than followers of Jesus.

Roddie Edmonds was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army. In late 1944, Edmonds was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and held at a German POW camp. In January 1945, the Nazis ordered all Jewish-American POWs to step forward. Edmonds, the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer at the camp, ordered all 1,000 US soldiers to step forward, regardless of their religion.

A German commander demanded that Edmonds identify the Jewish soldiers. Edmonds replied, "We are all Jews here." The commander threatened to shoot him if he did not comply. Edmonds refused, saying, "If you shoot, you'll have to shoot us all." The commander backed down.

Edmonds' actions are credited with saving the lives of 200 Jewish soldiers. In 2015, he was posthumously named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem and was the first American soldier to receive the honor.

Edmonds' story is a reminder of the courage and compassion of those who stood up to the Nazis during World War II. He is a true hero, and his legacy will never be forgotten.
