It's still better than what was provided in a real concentration camp during the actual genocide in the Holocaust.
Any food, however bad, is a hope of survival.
If the conditions are that bad, the taste of food is the last thing you're concerned about.
Great to meet

On 7/10, I woke up to the news that Hamas and fellow terrorist groups chose Shabbat and Simchat Torah, when everyone would be busy celebrating, to carry out the largest attack on Israel to date. Early in the morning, multiple locations were targeted within.

The lowest of the low. Graffiting a cinema on the anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack because it is showing a film documenting the Nova festival massacre?! Shame on them. Shame!

Spotted this handsome heron checking out the frog spawn on Barn Hill pond this morning, hoping its the same one that had us all so worried last month and he's now free of the ribbon 🤞🙏

I tried so hard to stay awake, then I tried to sleep so I could wake up early enough.
Thoughtful comment:
Is there a time we can do this that works for your East and West Coast and UK?
Positive comment:
Thank you Schiff family for doing this and still happy I can catch up now!
