Ashes to ashes

A recent TV documentary with Simon Schama features a harrowing closing scene in which the narrator is standing in a shallow pond at Auschwitz which contains the ashes of countless concentration camp victims.

He picks up a handful of the terrible ash and explains that this is what happens when a government is completely certain that it has the only truth.

I fear that the ongoing assaults on the press and the delivery of false information by the current Administration are actually steps toward that terrible ash. Our government serves the people and must not disinform them by shutting down our free press in service to a radical regressive agenda.
