  • As a citizen of fucking USA, I keep expecting to wake up one morning with bombs being dropped on us. And frankly, I fully welcome the bombs. Whatever keeps my family from reliving concentration camps.

    I’ve often wondered how I would have acted during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Apparently, the answer is “become paralyzed with fear and thank my luck every day that they didn’t come for me.”

    I’ve spent so much of my life trying to honor my family who died in the Holocaust by teaching kids about their lives and explaining how complacency will allow it to happen again. Yet here I am, metaphorically hiding under a blanket telling myself “but if the monster comes to get me, you know I’ll get them then!”

    I hate living through all this and grown to hate myself over the snivelling inactive role I play.
