“Farewell, my Cracow, / Farewell, / Horse and wagons are waiting in front of my house. / The wild enemy drives me out / Like one drives a dog / Without mercy away from you.” - written on October 24, 1940 by Jewish poet Mordechai Gebürtig when forced to leave his home.
“In Łódź, German planes dropped bombs on the city in the early morning of September 2, forcing inhabitants into air-raid shelters.” - from my book Atrocity of Hunger

The rise of antisemitic attacks should alarm all of us. Antisemitism and bigotry - like all forms of hate - have no place in our world, and it’s on each of us to combat this growing threat. @POTUS is right to take on this issue, and he deserves our support. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

My book, The Atrocity of Hunger, opens with a painful diary entry dated May 5, 1944. It is too long to quote here but the words have haunted me for years.
