People like this woman fight for the persecuted even in the twilight of her generation; refusing history to repeat itself.
There aren't many Holocaust survivors left.

I hope the crowds gave her hope our generation won't lie down&accept institutionalized bigotry after she's gone.
prevnextThe more I grow up, the more I understand what a privilege it was to grow up hearing stories of holocaust survivors - by holocaust survivors. These stories are forever a part of my DNA, and they’re a powerful lesson we should never, ever forget.

As long as we’re clear that Jews were and remain the targets of this same white supremacy amongside our black and brown siblings. Many of us look white, but the “passing privilege” we experience is both historically recent, and often vanishes once our Jewishness becomes evident.

"YOU should see what they did to my brother." If we could see we would puke. The nazis did such horrible things it is too much to see.

prevnextThe cops are out there (illegally) hiding their badge numbers while this woman is responding with hers.
Don't let history repeat itself. Be heard. Win this fight so our children won't have to when we are that age.

Thank you for sharing this. Seeing something like this at the start of the day reminds one that we can’t back down and cannot give an inch. None of us can! It also makes it clear that those who deny that institutionalized racism are the same as holocaust deniers.

prevnextIt's very emotional to see the strong impetus this woman has to share the horror of what can happen when society allows it's members to dehumanize their brothers and sisters.
She is warning us.
It has happened throughout history but ALWAYS starts with vilifying the 'other.'

Listen to her she has seen this before. We have to stop police brutality and hold the cops that use excessive force responsible. And we have to stop Trump and the GOP and White supremacists from leading this country into Fascism.

prevnextDear god, to have to live through this twice. We failed her

This makes me even more sad she’s been thru enough and to still be alive and see this kind of behavior forming into the same thing again

prevImagine having to go through everything all the hardships she has gone through only to have it still happening to people many decades after it should've ended.
