My mother was 10-years-old, with fair hair, blue eyes, and a normal nose, according to this document, when the British returned her to the Bergen Belsen concentration-turned DP camp to be reunited with her mother who was still trapped there following the Holocaust. After liberation in April of 1945, my grandmother was able to get her then 6-year-old child out of the camp by telling the International Red Cross authorities that she was an orphan. They put her on a Kindertransport to England where she stayed with cousins she had never met before, and whose language she did not speak, until these papers were finally drawn up. Anti-Semitism is at a fever pitch both in America and abroad. It gets a pass when it’s spewed by politicians, celebrities, on campus, in the main stream media, on social media, from the left and the right. If we don’t stop it now, this is where we’re headed. History has shown us that hate directed at the Jewish people never stops with the Jewish people. Stand up. Speak out. Stop it now.
