“What was it Hannah Arendt wrote? ‘Under conditions of terror, most people will comply but some people will not…’ My family did not comply. And we paid a price. Years of exile, poverty. But finally we made it to the US. I worked for years in a mailroom. Good, solid work. Even paid ok. Retired back in 03. Not easy making it on Social Security and my pension, but I get by. Really can’t complain. We got out. Plenty didn’t. You need me to turn toward the light a bit more, or is this good?”
