In November, 1943 my mother had just escaped a Nazi roundup and refuge in Sweden. As I recount in my #GraphicNovel #HourOfNeed, she got to go see her first American movie, Yankee Doodle Dandee. Thank you to all who have served and made America synonomous with freedom. #MemorialDay

During the Night of Long Knives, #Hitler purged Germany's top generals and replaced them with loyalists, which cemented his control. Did we just have our #NightOfLongKnives? This is a reminder why the lessons of the Holocaust and history which I confront in #HourOfNeed remain important today.

I had the privilege to speak to over 100 attendees at the opening of the Jewish Museum Milwaukee exhibit on the Danish Rescue #W22 about my mother's story I share in my #GraphicNovel #HourOfNeed, they even have a #HolgerDanske armband on loan.

I will be signing my #graphicnovel #HourOfNeed and speaking tomorrow night at the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee at the opening event of its exhibit on #Denmark during #WW2 #ChoicesOfConsequence

As the Little Mermaid watched over Copenhagen’s harbor in late September, 1943, did she feel the shadow in the moonlight of the approaching Wartheland, the transport vessel the Germans sent to Denmark in anticipation of a planned action to roundup the Danish Jews?
