I walked around in the 2nd largest synagogue in Europe today
in Plzen, CZ Rep. There are fewer than 100 Jews in that town now.
Only 200 of the thousands who built the synagogue returned after the
holocaust.
I got in the car and, while Randy drove, I checked my
email and the news. And I read that protesters in St Louis (against the
recent exoneration of a police officer who was recorded saying he was going to
kill a black man) were surrounded by hundreds of police and tear gassed.
They happened to be near a synagogue and the rabbi there opened the doors
and sheltered the protesters. Police supporters tweeted the hashtag
"#GasTheSynagogue." Horrible images from Nazi years were
posted and shared. Twitter did not stop
this.
Have we no memory? How is this
happening again?
