        From the article

      “Ackchyually”, I’m pretty sure “les justes” are non-jewish people that helped/saved jewish people during WW2.

        Apparently remembering the heroes of the Holocaust and how much we value them for saving innocent lives doesn’t call for some amount of introspection about the genocide occuring now
