27. In this era of American Gleichschaltung this story MUST be told

Old news? Not compelling enough? I cannot even begin to tell you how much this story needs to be told.

This story evokes empathy. It is the one word that pushes back against the horror of the Nazis - both then and now. And it’s personal and thus will connect with people. The movie Empire of the Sun comes to mind.

Please….tell the story.
