A quotation from Naomi Shulman
Nice people made the best Nazis.
Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on “politics,” instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.Naomi Shulman (contemp.), American writer, essayist, editor
Essay (2016-11-17), “No Time To Be Nice: Now Is Not the Moment to Remain Silent,” WBUR, National Public RadioMore info about this quote: wist.info/shulman-naomi/80028/

As some of you may know, I will be joining Making Waves Foundation attempt to sail from Sydney to Hobart on boxing day. This is a particularly important thing to me as I have volunteered with the foundation for a while and have witnessed the positive impact its programs have on the younger.
If you have a few spare dollars to help, I would be honoured by your support.
More about the crew can be found here:

And you can make donations to my effort here (also linked from. The page above):
