Wow.

The U.S. government made an anti-fascism film in 1943. Does it remind you of anybody in 2017?

@PeterJDeSilva Congrats!

@KenBurns Your documentary showed my why my parents, children of Jewish immigrants, tried to protect me from the antisemitism they encountered while growing up in the US Midwest. And now I know why they did. Antisemitism is as prevalent now as it was then. It's painful.

This @KenBurns documentary "The U.S. and the Holocaust" is so chilling in the way we see all the echoes today and seem to be making such similar mistakes.

We’re devastated for Uvalde, Texas.

Once again, gun violence has forced its way into our schools, leaving nothing but devastation, trauma, and tragedy in its wake.

We can’t afford to wait for action — we must demand it now.

@abgutman I understand this. My family was also murdered in Lublin during the Holocaust. I have visited twice - 2017 and 2019. Follow Grodzka Gate Theater NN on Facebook to see the good work they do in piecing together their Jewish history. https://t.co/f2ptlzAXPY

On virtual call with #ForumforDialogueWarsaw reports 100s of people from Poland and other EU countries volunteering to go to Ukraine to fight Russian aggression.

#ForumforDialogueWarsaw suggests contributing to these organizations in Poland to assist refugees https://t.co/jUZ5jHbjob

[Pola Firestone #🟦 @polafirestone]

Efforts to assist refugees in Poland is just beginning to organize. Private citizens are gathering at the borders and offering transportation and shelter bringing additional problems and concerns.

[Pola Firestone #🟦 @polafirestone]

Listening to Forum for Dialogue's virtual call from #Warsaw. Initially, many Poles were shocked by the invasion and its intensity. Now, there are many reports of overwhelming support for refugees and much concern for their safety and long term humanitarian crisis.
