I find Nazism so deeply repugnant, it's hard for me to even hear references to it. My stepmom is Jewish (and my half brother & sister, both stepbrothers). I took Critical Approach to Cinema at American University with Arnost Lustig, a survivor. I read 3 of his books and watched ... 2 or 3? movies about them. I had vague ideas about the Holocaust but after this class, I had much deeper knowledge. Horrific. Can't even talk about it now. #NazisAreBad
So, I am Jewish. It was only about 20 yrs ago I was told that because my mom was Jewish, it means I’m full Jewish, even tho I’ve never practiced the faith, I have my dad’s features & have his Scandinavian last name. No one ever knows.
Yet, I can’t help but watch what’s going on with the very real acknowledgement & realization that if these ppl were to see a document w/my mother’s maiden name on it, they would want me dead. It’s just too much to process when thinking about 1939.

My thoughts and feelings are with you … I also fear for America itself …
