The claim:

"Slavery made America rich."

The facts: The institution of slavery slowed the economic development of half the U.S.

In 1860, the South only had 1/6th as many factories as the North

Almost 90% of skilled laborers were in the North, along with banking, railroads, and manufacturing

The South was an economic backwater

The Holocaust: A Thread

The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1941 and 1945.

The term "Holocaust" comes from a Greek word meaning sacrifice by fire.
encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art… The Nazis considered Jews to be an inferior race that posed a deadly threat to the German "Volk."

Soon after taking power, the Nazis adopted measures to exclude Jews from German economic, social, and cultural life and to pressure them to leave the country.

By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times MORE LIKELY to be killed by a black male. In contrast:

An open letter to @Google co-founder Sergey Brin, from @DennisPrager

Dear Mr. Brin:

Fifty years ago this week, when I was a 21-year-old college senior, I was in the Soviet Union, sent by the government of Israel to smuggle in Jewish religious items ... @Google @DennisPrager 2/
and smuggle out names of Jews who wanted to escape the Soviet Union and could then be issued a formal invitation to Israel.

I was chosen because I was a committed Jew and because I knew Hebrew and Russian. I was no hero, but the trip did entail risk.
