One can use their voice, write to local government leaders, stay informed,., speak truth.

I am glad to find him still living, and saddened that he's had to see that kind of HORROR and CRUELTY all over again.

He must watch closely, for the very same scenario as in '47, is unfolding, but he will have no say in the process. Instead the ax of the henchman is already hanging in the air over a world that has forsaken justice in 1947. What did old Winston said somewhere round about that time? "some chicken, some neck".

    You learn about all of this, you go to the sites where these things happened and it always feels like a long long time ago. You see this and it reminds you how recent it really was. Crazy!

    Thank you for what you did!!!!!! My entire family in Kiev disappeared when the Nazis invaded in 1941....except for my grandfather Jacob, or I would not be here. The world should never be held hostage by ONE man and those who follow them into EVIL. Our own country is also in danger of losing our Democracies we speak. Thank you Benjamin!!!!

    Thank you Sir, for your service both during the war & after in your career as prosecutor & attorney...I'm heartbroken that you had to re-experience all that horror, trauma & bad memories in 2022 instead of enjoy your senior years without conflicts of in this magnitude that has some similarities to what you experienced back then...
