This Isn’t the Way the World Is Supposed to Be

I remember McCarthyism, Vietnam protests, civil rights marches and legislation. Bad times starting out, but good results eventually. Now I'm scared AND angry, because I see democracy slipping away. People now feel it's okay to dismiss minorities, immigrants, anyone who disagrees and follow up sometimes with violence. The law is ignored by those in power, [...]

Quotes by Beverly Magid (?)

“We’re having another meeting tonight, if you can come,” Yaakov said. “The soldiers are watching the village very closely,” she said, speaking in a whisper. “They are on the lookout for anyone who might be involved in organizing.”
Arguments continued in all corners of the room. One man vehemently warned, “Anyone involved in advancing reforms or revolution against the government could face prison or a firing squad.”

“Captain Vaselik was her only chance. She re-tied her kerchief, smoothed her clothes as much as possible and hoped she looked presentable enough as she and the children left for headquarters.”

“Don’t get any ideas,” Vaselik said as Leah left the room. “She’s a widowed Jew and my cook, so forget whatever you’re thinking.” “And you Ivan, what are you thinking?” asked Mikhail. “Less risk than a superior’s wife, no?”
