A person on my feed boosted a post by @wardrup, and I watched this video as a result. I have to say that it is about as powerful a statement against Nazism as I can imagine. I have hundreds of neighbors, acquaintances & family that I wish could/would watch it. Perhaps one or two of them might wake up & understand that the path they have taken is flawed.
