Well said, Shelley. I’m not Jewish—or religious at all—but it angers me every time I hear our “president” use the excuse of fighting antisemitism to propel his crazy witch hunts because I know he doesn’t care about Jewish people. It’s just a convenient excuse, and how disrespectful is that?
I also like what you say about our memories and what our minds choose to remember. It really does come down to recalling how we felt more than what actually happened (in many cases, but not all).

Thank you for the close read, Krista. I appreciate the observations.
