"Tolerance Alive in Times of Hope and Sadness"

"On May 17, Ukraine soldiers relinquished their defensive positions after bravely enduring a weeks-long Russian bombardment of the Azovstal factory in Mariupol. They mounted a valiant defence. Coincidentally, in 2019 the Tolerance poster exhibition (the red pin on the map below) opened only a short distance from the besieged steelworks. That venue is now destroyed."

Above is a quote from May 17th, 2022, post "Tolerance Alive in Times of Hope and Sadness" on The Daily Heller by Steven Heller.
