(SRN NEWS) – A dilapidated industrial site in the Czech Republic where German businessman Oscar Schindler saved 1,200 Jews during World War Two is coming back to life. The site, a former textile factory two hours east of Prague, is now the Museum of Survivors, dedicated to the Holocaust and the history of Jews in Eastern Europe. The opening was timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. It was also in May 1945 that Schindler received a golden ring from grateful Jewish survivors, inscribed with the Hebrew words “Whoever saves one life saves the whole world.”
( ) Young Americans are growing more skeptical of free speech. According to a report by The Future of Free Speech, a nonpartisan think tank, support among 18- to 34-year-olds for allowing controversial speech has dropped sharply in recent years. Younger Americans are especially hesitant to defend speech that offends members of the LGBT community. The think tank points out that today’s young adults will soon shape policies in government and the private sector. If a growing share believes speech should be regulated to prevent offense, that could signal a historic shift.
( ) A new AP-NORC poll on transgenderism finds about 4-in-10 people want public school teachers to report to parents if their children are identifying at school as transgender or nonbinary. Roughly 3-in-10 say no and a similar number are neutral. About half of poll respondents also oppose allowing government insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid to cover sex-change operations and hormone shots for anyone. Roughly two-thirds of American adults oppose tax dollars for such procedures on children under 19.
( ) The Anti-Defamation League is calling on shareholders of Alphabet — the parent company of Google — to vote against a proposal designed to get the firm to cut ties with Israel. ADL spokesman Jonathan Greenblatt says “Proposal Nine offers the pretense of concern for human rights when in fact it is a thinly disguised ploy to weaken Israel’s national security. It is closely aligned with the objectives of the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions movement.” The proposal is expected to be submitted to a shareholder vote on June 6th.
