Helen Rachel Krieger MONROE December 22, 2025

My grief is the same as all the jewish people in this world, my parents and the family I never met that perished in poland during the Holocaust, I keep on asking why? Hate is the devil in peoples hearts that have been indoctrinated by the darkness. This kind of pain for us is a memory of many pasts. We as humans must keep the darkness and evil away from this world.

Better to die protecting the Jews,
than to live without them.

We need to fight for good to be the dominant force in Australia.

Evil prospers when good men do nothing. Reply
