I just read Andrew’s excellent essay on Mr Lemkin and how the term genocide came to be. I have read about him through reading Philippe Sands but Andrew’s essay is a brilliant focus on all he did. Wanted you to know a student I had is now teaching Genocide studies in MetroVan.

Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked girls. Now she gets work release. This isn’t justice. It’s a reward. She’s not reformed,she’s rehearsing her comeback. The system that let Epstein off the hook is doing it again. The survivors get silence. She gets a job. This isn’t a mistake. It’s how power works.
