A cool thing about "The House I Live In" is that its lyrics were written by Abel Meeropol, best known for (a) writing the lyrics for the anti-lynching song "Strange Fruit," recorded by Billie Holiday, and (b) adopting Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's orphaned sons.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.
It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.
On the back of the photograph she wrote:
“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.
‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”
The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.
