Thank you, Luisa, for this beautiful essay. As the granddaughter of a German Jew - whose moment where never again began, by the way, was when they took her bicycle away - the connection you're drawing between the Holocaust and the crisis in Ukraine is exactly the right one.

Powerfully written Luisa, thank you. We forget sometimes that war has not touched us here in North America for more than 100 years and just how lucky we are.

When I lived in Vienna, I had similar thoughts about who passed through the doorways, whose hand swept along the banisters, who looked out the windows -- in their every day. But you put it beautifully. Thank you.

Beautiful essay. So well written and powerful. My heart breaks when I read what is happening. My grandparents never spoke of the war so many years ago now. It, I think was to painful. Bless you and everyone involved in helping the Ukrainian people. From here we are supporting an organization that is also helping. May this war end soon 🙏

Thank you Luisa for putting into words how so many of us feel. Your son had the right idea about getting rid of Putin.

How sensitive he is to think of all the fathers left behind.
