Watching a tribute to the Live Aid concert in 1985. I mostly remember USA for Africa from that era. This is an insert to the Bruce Springsteen box set from 1985. #LiveAid #LiveAid40 #USAforAfrica

Today is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, recalling events in World War II. I encountered Roma people while living in Germany. Verdi gave them a sympathetic treatment in "Il Trovatore." This is Azucena (in red) in Napoli. #Roma #Tolerance

We visited the UN on a family trip to New York in 1982. I've had a lifelong interest in the organization. #UN #UnitedNations

The situation in Gaza is very grim. I hope our policy makers insist on a different approach.
Gaza is emerging as the great moral test of our time. This article explains what is happening. The U.S. is enabling the starvation policy with billions in unconditional aid.

It's Swiss National Day, celebrating events in 1291. My earliest known ancestors were Swiss. This was a high school visit to Schaffhausen. #Switzerland #Rhine

Big day in Roman history. Antony committed suicide in 30 BC as Augustus came ashore in Alexandria. The Golden Hall in Augsburg, Germany recalls the era. #MarkAntony #Augustus #Augsburg

Baltimore was founded today in 1729. My paternal ancestors landed here from Germany. I enjoyed walking the docks where they would have been. #Ports #Immigration #Baltimore
