We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: https://buff.ly/4jd1BiU)

Here's a perfect way to kick off the holiday season - watch/listen to Catherine read "A Christmas Carol." It's such an extraordinary experience, and it helps me every year to get into a festive mood. And if you're able, you can help others in need through the CrisisUK donation link. 🎄

@hilzoy.bsky.social If you love Christmas Carol, you need to listen to this rendition by Catherine Russell (UK). It is wonderful! Enjoy & hope you are having a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas & here's to a happy, peaceful & successful 2025 to all my new & refound friends here - take care & have a wonderful time. For all those lonely or hurting, I hope that you have memories of love at least - blessings to all.
