The benefit of being a physical media junkie and using no streaming service for music when the Internet is out due to an ice storm is I don't lose access to music. If power goes out, I switch to my backup battery powered mp3 drives!

The Holocaust is one of the most horrific crimes against humanity. It took the lives of approximately 6 million Jews, 1.5 million of whom lived in the territory of present-day Ukraine. As well as millions of people from other groups that the Nazi regime deemed "unworthy of life."
