This story linked below appeared in the New York Times and was written by Keren Blankfeld. It is entitled "Lovers in Auschwitz Reunited." The story is one for the ages guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye as it did mine. The tear fell when, as the narration related, the Allies were approaching Auschwitz and the liberation of it was at hand. The prisoners in Auschwitz thought the Soviet army was at their doorstep but it was not the Soviet army it was the American army. A feeling of pride washed over me as I remember an age before Trumpian fascist hate and madness when those imprisoned by authoritarian dictatorships breathed a sigh of relief that America, a democratic nation with a leader of abundant humane empathy, came to save those imprisoned in hell.
I yearn for those feelings again as this nation continues to lock up children and many others in cages amid horrific unsanitary conditions resulting in disease and death.
This Trumpian nation has turned its back on the asylum seekers and some accept as good or are indifferent when a father drowns face down on the shores of the Rio Grande with his daughter's arm around him trying to make the arduous journey to freedom in America.
Washington Post: "Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his 23-month old daughter, both
Salvadoran migrants, were swept away in the river waters in a last-ditch
attempt to reach Brownsville, Texas."
We all should be ashamed.
Now we live in a Trump nation that could be charged with crimes against humanity because of the cruelty of the unfit-for-office president who shows zero care or concern for those who suffer the slings and arrows of tyranny. Many innocents, including our allies who fought the terrorism of ISIS with us, have died because Trump turned his back on them and ran. Can one imagine if a Trump were in power as Hitler and the Nazi onslaught approached? Who can say for certain that Trump at that time would not have supported Hitler? Trump, a man who reads nothing allegedly has Hitler's Mein Kampf on his night table. That says it all.
VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE TICKET AND SAVE OUR NATIONAL HUMANITY!
