I appreciate Larry Mizel’s leadership and the Mizel Museum’s sponsorship of this important commemoration.  The Babi Yar massacre is only one of many that took place during the Holocaust.  From September 29-30, 1941, at the Babi Yar ravine on the outskirts of Kyiv, the Nazis killed approximately 34,000 Jews; it was one of the largest mass murders at an individual location during World War II.  And between 1941 and 1943, thousands more Jews, Roma, Communists, and Soviet prisoners of war were killed there as well.  In total, around 100,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during World War II. The Babi Yar Memorial Park pays tribute to those lives lost and to victims of genocide everywhere.

In my talk today, I want to reflect on rising anti-semitism and why the core message of the Holocaust—Never Again—remains more relevant than ever.  For me, this is deeply personal.  In my family, the Holocaust shaped our world view and my approach to public service because my grandparents and mom survived the Holocaust, with the US Army liberating my mom when she just was 7 days old.  Their story of survival is ultimately one of resilience and optimism.  And America’s decision to welcome them fostered my family’s appreciation for our nation’s core values—freedom and opportunity for all.

1. Putting Rising Hate Into Context

Rising anti-semitism in the United States is occurring in the broader context of rising hate targeted at a range of individuals.  The statistics and the stories are clear:  hate is rising against all groups—Asian Americans, members of the LGBTQ community, Jews, and African Americans, to name only a few—and the sources of rising hate are intertwined.  In many cases, hate jumps a track, so to speak, as evident when an attack on a synagogue outside of San Diego was inspired by a massacre at a mosque in Christ Church, New Zealand, which was carried on Facebook Live.

I am not confident that I can pinpoint all of the reasons for rising hate and hate crimes, but a few themes bear attention.  First off, we are living at a time of technological change, economic disruption, and the aftermath of a pandemic, all of which have frayed social ties.  In difficult times, it is a historical fact that individuals are often looking to blame—and even demonize—others.  Indeed, a concept we have learned about demonization is that it is all too common to demonize an individual based on who she is as an “other.”  Second, social media is enabling hate, demonization, and conspiracy theories to spread quickly

For many Jews, the history of stereotypes and demonization is a painful and familiar tale.  Quite notably, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yad VaShem, begins with a detailed background of the prejudice and biases against Jews that were dry kindling for the fire lit by the Nazis.  Germans were, in other words, familiar with the antisemitic tropes about Jews.  Hitler weaponized that sentiment into an ideology and ultimately marshalled hate into support for genocide.  When we say “Never Again,” that cannot only mean no more genocides; it also needs to mean that we will never allow the mass demonization of an ethic group to lay the groundwork for a genocide.  In other genocides, such as in Rwanda, the demonization of the Hutus preceded the genocide and indeed was a necessary predicate for the killing that followed.

I was born and raised in Colorado, leaving the state after high school to attend Georgetown University on a full scholarship. After graduation I joined the Marine Corps, where I served six years on active duty. At that point in my military career I was selected for the law education program and sent to Cornell Law School. I graduated magna cum laude while simultaneously earning two degrees: a J.D. with specialization in business law and a LL.M. in International Law.

With my law degree, I served at Marine Corp Air Station Iwakuni, Japan as the Senior Defense Counsel and then the Station Judge Advocate (SJA) despite being a junior Major. I left active duty in August 2003 and clerked for the Honorable Judge Eugene Siler, Jr. on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

I returned home to Colorado in 2004 and moved to Highlands Ranch. Here, I began working for a large international law firm as a commercial litigation and appellate specialist. While there I wrote the "Appeals" section for the Practicing Law Institute's Securities Litigation Treatise; handled the appeal of the largest punitive damages case in Colorado history and did pro bono work through an appeal for Trout Unlimited to protect water flows in the Cache La Poudre river and taking action to stop a “Steer Tailing” event at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds on behalf of an animal humane society. I also provided more than 300 pro bono hours to the Denver County Court as a guardian ad litem and was deputized as an Assistant City Attorney for three months to help prosecute criminal cases in Denver County Court.

As residents of Northern Colorado communities, we all understand how difficult it can be to have our voices heard and our needs met. We are regularly overshadowed by big cities throughout the state. The only way to effect change and be sure there are people looking out for us is to ensure we put those people in place - representation matters!

There will be hors d’oeuvres, drinks, a silent auction, and an opportunity to really understand what candidates can bring to the table. Come find out what some of our currently elected officials are doing to advocate for all Northern Colorado communities at the local, county, and state levels.

Now more than ever we need your help to fight the extreme Republican candidates running for office this mid-term. With your help we can keep Colorado Blue in 2022 and keep our majorites here at home and in Washington.

Please join our Big Tent Big 10 Donors by giving just $10 a month you can help us fund our Win Plan.
