Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

“Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone."

"No," the swordmaster said.

"One does not refuse the king," the herald said.

"I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war."

"You will regret this!"

"No," the swordmaster said.

I'm here because my Jewish grandparents escaped the Holocaust. Many of our family were not so fortunate. NEVER AGAIN is supposed to include Iranians. And Palestinians. And Ukrainians. And on and on. There are no exceptions based on religion or country of origin.

I will talk to you about them anytime, or read them with you! One is a teacher protecting her students, one is undergrads and secret society magic, one is literally PhD hell. All so good!

Request them through your libraries too, so everyone can read them!
