#RemembranceDay2021 When you're a child of Holocaust Survivors, WWII is not ancient history. In a tiny part of the brain called the amygdala, where trauma gets free room & board, WWII is every day. But in the emotional rubble of the endless war, there is one positive.

My pride in & gratitude for @CanadianForces who punched well above their weight. Without their valor, two diminutive Hungarians, Miklosz & Rosza, imprisoned by history, and impaled by ideology, could never have met.

#RemembranceDay2021 Our Forces, our @CanadianForces fought heroically to remove the Nazi jackboot from my mother's throat. How do I thank them enough? #LestWeForget
