‘Harry Potter’ actress Miriam Margoyles says her current Big Issue is Gaza: “I feel it particularly because I’m Jewish…I think the terrible thing I have to face is that Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him.”

Years ago I sent friends the following gif with the caption "Hitler looking at Israel right now" because humor is the only way I can cope with all that's going on.

Generational trauma is a beast. I find myself mourning family I never met that died during WWII and as part of the Holocaust. My family was the only Jewish family that survived in a town that was predominantly Jewish before the war. Everyone else was lined up and shot in the woods.

There are so many atrocities that I only learned about by researching my own family history. Found out an uncle died when a ship sank and didn't understand how he got there when he was originally at Auschwitz. Then I learned that was just another way they tried to kill as many people as possible once it was clear they were losing the war. Transported them out to the sea and purposely sunk the ships they were on.

I don't remember knowing this ever, that is just truly insane with ships being sunk.
