Little did I think that antisemitism would rear its head in America in 2017.In the past few weeks there have been bomb threats to Jewish organizations,destruction of tombstones in Jewish cemeteries and ah host of incidents that are reminiscent of the dark moments of the past. Through the years I have interviewed many survivors of the Shoah and their stories reverberate in my heart and soul. The cancer that has plagued the Jewish people for centuries cannot be tolerated ,and it is not enough to be repulsed by the recent incidents. Each of us must speak out and embrace our Jewish brothers and sisters and assure them that we unlike those in the past will not be silent
