Mir Veln Zey Iberlebn!

Today is Yom HaShoah, and I think the news that antisemitic acts are on the rise across the country, especially here in NYC and in NJ, perfectly illustrates why it's so important to not only educate and "never forget," but to actively fight against hatred by any means necessary. ("We learn from history, generations have to fight. And those who crave for mastery, must be faced down on sight. And if that means by words, by fists, by stones or by the gun. Remember those who stood up for their daughters and their sons."*) Long live the spirit of The 43 Group. Mir veln zey iberlebn!
