My father was a frontline surgeon during World War II. His unit liberated the Dachau concentration camp. He saw firsthand the horrors of war.
Like many Americans, I’m astounded by the cruelty of the Trump administration towards immigrants, gays and lesbians, Black people and anyone who opposes President Trump. How did we come to this?
Moreover, what can we do? Stay informed, work together. Be part of our communities. Practice kindness at every opportunity. I’m convinced that the assault on our democracy won’t last. It may not be perfect, but it has proved resilient over the course of time.
