He made his final moments the best moments of his life. He was standing bravely before he was killed, and he wasn't afraid at all. His last words were "Glory to Ukraine".
He died like a man! What a Hero❤️
Nearly 60 years after he was first recommended for the nation’s highest military award for his bravery during the Vietnam War, retired Col. Paris Davis, one of the first Black officers to lead a Special Forces team in combat, received the Medal of Honor. https://t.co/e4NmRj9w9H
Of all the photos I post, this might be the one that hits me hardest: Otto Frank in the attic of the Secret Annex of the #AnneFrankHouse.
American photographer Arnold Newman took it a few hours before the official opening of the museum on 3rd May 1960.
4 January 1925 | French Jew Jean Salomon Mosse was born in Paris.

He did not survive.
So proud that my great grandma, Lily Ebert, 99 year old Auschwitz survivor, is receiving an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours list.
“I promised myself in Auschwitz that if I survived, I would tell my story to the world. I feel that this promise is being fulfilled.” — Lily Ebert MBE.
Today my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, turns 99!
“I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!”
All #HappyBirthdayLily wishes and comments will be passed on to Lily. ❤️
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
The Ghetto fightbacks were astonishing, but where are their stories? Hollywood prefers the myth of the Righteous Gentile. Every agent told me, "No market for tales of Jewish Resistance" . I AM JUDEN now a UK Bestseller for 6 months. Thankyou for proving the agents wrong.
