It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting.
March 1944, deportation of the Jews of Ioannina, Greece.
A young woman sees a loved one taken away.

If you're looking for more reasons to detest the #Greenland move, consider this: 90% of inhabitants are indigenous.
A repeat of the 1867 Alaska Purchase, a transaction between U.S. & Russia that ignored native (Tlingit, Inupiat, Yupik) sovereignty entirely.

Isn't that the height of irony?
