Wow, that looks great. Thanks! I wish I had time to listen to it but maybe something to save over the summer. Definitely a good resource for later. I just got an MP3 player so I finally can have podcasts, but I get aggravated listening to micro-chunks so I tend to listen more to music unless I have long periods of time like travel to listen to podcasts. Which doesn’t happen all that often.

When I went thru the Museum I learned of an important resource that will educate anyone interested in the issue of Anti-Semitism:

A 37 Podcast Series that “features a broad range of perspectives about antisemitism and hatred today.”

Take your time and listen to this series whenever you have the time, as I am

The D.C. Holocaust museum is really great. I was most impacted when I first went, when I was younger, but the punch was still there when I went again when I was older.

I was talking to someone a few weeks ago who was actively promoting (in a positive way) certain Jewish stereotypes and complete myths promulgated by anti-semites… it was fairly disturbing, but I have to remind myself that everywhere there is always room for more education. Here at Yale, in the US, wherever. (I have lots more to learn about other faiths and cultures, too)

This is particularly disturbing.

The things that go on on our college campuses, these days, are mind boggling.

On my recent vacation, to VA. & DC, I spent 5 hours exploring the Permanent Exhibits that are part of the Holocaust Museum.

Even for someone, like me, who actually paid attention in class in school in the 70’s and 80’s, watched various theatrical & made-for-TV films and some documentaries, and read a few books, over the years, this was an experience where I learned a few new things.

One startling thing was how widespread the idiocy of those who actually believe the incoherent garbage that is the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is all around the world today.

To look at a display of modern editions of that book, in languages from every part of the world, and to read actual pages of it, and thus seeing just how incoherent it is, is an eye opener.
