Why do so many Holocaust survivors sense emerging anti-Jewish threats before seeing them? Because they know how supposedly "innocent" insinuations grow into accusations and that accusations can become discrimination and soon after legislation. It is then that hysteria is set loose. Survivors sound the alarm because they know what is at stake. By doing so they strengthen our democracies in ways that no other people can. We listen to the survivors so that we survive.
