When I speak to the German half of my family in Germany these days, some of them are practically sobbing in fear of what we’ve done with Trump. Let that be a warning to Americans.

Yup. The latest number is somewhere around 42,500.

Many were on the soviet side of the Iron Curtain and between that and the population displacement in postwar Europe the western world only got a small part of the story.

40,000 concentration camps?

And that’s the worst part for me: nobody went “crazy.” The people of Germany didn’t have a collective psychological episode where they blacked out and woke up to find that, with the connivance of large segments of almost every other European country, they’d somehow slaughtered millions of innocent people.

These are all excellent points. To add to it— I worked at a Holocaust museum where we had an exhibit on the Einsatzgrüppen (actually titled “Holocaust by Bullets”). A French priest was working on identifying and excavating archaeological sites to find mass graves and also relics of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. And…

The preferred term is “Killing Center.” We [Holocaust scholars] try not to call the the 5 Killing Centers (denoted because they had gas chambers) “Death camps” anymore because death occurred at all of the concentration camps, over 40,000 of them. Also, it puts the agency on the killers, and the choices they made to…

While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

This is my sweet baby boy, Atticus!

Here’s my dude at the precise moment he realised the futility of life.

This little brat is currently stealing my blanket. It’s a snowy day here in Boston so we’re snuggling.

My parents’ shower broke so they have to use mine. My dad takes a shower and afterwards he starts asking me about a small white bottle he used as shampoo. He wanted to know if it was body wash. I figured out he just used my Diva Cup cleaner to wash his hair. He said it left his hair squeaky clean. I think it’s okay to…

That kid can’t get out of her own way. Her court review which was supposed to be just that is now going to be another Probation Violation hearing because she decided to sneak out on NYE and got caught. She added to her issues by getting into a nasty confrontation with people on New Year’s Day which ended with a visit…

Whozzat? Cheeto Voldemort? Trumplestiltskin? Short-fingered Vulgarian? Ronald McDonaldTrump? Please be more specific.

I vote we follow the Klingon example

He’s not even an Agent but what would be called a “useful idiot”. Putin worked out very quickly that all that makes Trump work is his ego. If you make Wotsitman look good he’ll say anything but if you insult him then he’ll hunt you down.

We basically will have a double agent in the White House beginning on January 20th.

Can we also talk about how today he also met with the leaders of the Alphabet Agencies, some of the most powerful and historically pro-GOP Intelligence groups in the world, and basically claimed they were wrong about Putin and Russia’s involvement despite them then releasing a report which states plain as day that…

I heard that his sex life was really lame. He couldn’t get the other whales to humpback.
