This is the location of the small business my great grandfather co-owned in Amsterdam. In 1943 he was sent to the camps to be murdered along with his wife and daughter.

I've included the Nazi letter, signed "Heil H!tler", indicating that the shop and its Jewish owners were liquidated.

OTD, May 18, 1943.

Julius, Else and 15 year old Susi Jacks are taken from their home in Amsterdam and brought to transit camp Westerbork.

They are murdered in @sobibor.org death camp.

May their memories be a blessing.

I think the biggest FU to Trump's imperial ambitions would be if Turks & Caicos joined Canada.

The right on Twitter are freaking out about pencils in voting booths, as if it's some conspiracy to "fix" the election. Preparing for a loss I guess, but damn they are dumb.

Top tier analyses of my kid's play.
Analysis:

Great cheering for teammates' goals. Great stick taps on the ice to celebrate. Nice defensive play as well to break up a rush.

Hope you and yours had fun!

We landed on:
- Iron Butterfly
- Leonard Cohen
- Metallica
- The Prodigy
- Eminem
- Rage Against the Machine

She was so freakin' cool.
