an interesting juxtaposition...

First of all, Happy VE Day! A truly memorable event. It's also the anniversary of the death of one of my heroes, Mordecai Anielewicz*, one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the crushing of that movement. A date of great happiness and hope, mixed with equally great despair and defeat. Both events infused with unbelievable courage. I'm always in awe of those guys.
