Having been born so close to the end of the war and -- by extension -- the horrors of the Holocaust it’s important to not only remember this history-altering event but create a situational awareness regarding attempts – including current ones – to deny or re-work this unfathomable horror.

While many Americans are far removed from the anti-fascist narrative of the second World War, my advice would be to examine family histories and give props to those relatives who took up arms to defeat Hitler and the aims of Nazism.
