As Nazi tanks rolled into Paris in 1940, Hans and Margret Rey fled on bicycles that Hans assembled from spare parts. They set off before dawn carrying coats, a little food, and a manuscript that became Curious George, the wildly popular children’s book series. #NationalBikeMonth

Americans have increasingly, and more openly, been confronted with symbols and terms drawn directly from Nazi Germany. Hate-fueled violence is not new to America, but these events remind us of the urgency to combat it. ushmm.org/antisemitism/w…

What drives a person to turn toward hate and violence? Extremism did not end with the Nazi regime. We're live on Facebook on 1/13 at 9:30 am ET discussing how conspiracy theories and grievances continue to motivate people to join hate groups, 75 years after the Holocaust. 📸Getty

Student: What did you learn about forgiveness after the war? #SimoneLiebster: My mother refused to have our neighbor arrested for denouncing us to Gestapo. I was very upset! Our family was torn to pieces, suffered terribly because of Mrs Eguemann. Mother chose not to retaliate.
