Remember: Never Again!
Since reading Robert Sklar's excel-
lent Editor's Letter "Palestinian Arab
Charade" (Feb 11, page 5), I have been
thinking about the Jews of pre-war
(World War II) Europe and America.
When the propaganda campaign began
against the Jews of Germany and
Europe, what was their response? Why
didn't more of them flee? Why didn't
world Jewry react decisively?
What about today? How many Jews
know or care about the events, as
reported by Mr. Sklar? Will we become
guilty of a similar indifference/igno-
rance that occurred with the Shoah?
Will there be a second holocaust — the
one that Iran is planning? Will there
be a Jewish entity left in our homeland
after the Palestinians get theirs?
The complacent, assimilated Jews
of Europe and America didn't take
Germany seriously in the 1930s and
1940s, just like complacent Jews today.
When will they wake up?
All Jews must take note of the events
in the Middle East and on university
campuses today! We must learn from
history and not repeat it. There are
pro-Israel groups to join, events to
attend, political leaders to contact,
university regents to influence, letters
to editors to write....
Remember, "Never Again!"

Counting Our Snowbirds
Michigan, like other northern states,
has plenty of "snowbirds" — that is,
residents who travel to warmer cli-
mates during the winter months. In
this census year, it is critical that the
snowbirds who call Michigan their
usual residence answer the census
form in their home state of Michigan.
Why is this important? Because
Michigan can lose up to $200 million
in federal funds per year ($2 billion
per decade!) and may also lose a seat
in the U.S. House if snowbirds are not
included in the Michigan census.
The League of Women Voters, a
partner of the Census 2010 Complete
Count Committee, offers this solution:
Snowbirds receiving a census form
at their winter retreat should enter
"0" for the number of people living at
their winter address and then write
only these words, "Usual residence
elsewhere" so the person reading
the form understands why "0" was
entered.
When they return to Michigan, they
can fill out the census form that was
delivered to their Michigan address or
wait until a census worker visits them
at their Michigan home. There is no
penalty for having a census worker
make a home visit.
Census forms are delivered to
households, not to individuals. The
form does not ask where you live, nor
is there a place on the form to indicate
a primary address if you respond to
the form from your winter retreat.
Every U.S. resident should be counted
by the census once at the residence
where they live most of the year.
Counting Michigan snowbirds as
residents of another state reduces
Michigan's political influence in
Congress, reduces the level of federal
funding received by state and local
agencies and reduces the accuracy of
the census data.
Please circulate this information
to your snowbird friends so that
Michigan can receive all the resources
it deserves!

My Inspiring Aunt
In her article "Love Of Flying" (March
4, page 11), Story Development Editor
Keri Guten Cohen vividly captured the
wonder and the strength of my aunt,
Sylvia Granader, my mother's older
sister. Since I can remember, she has
been my personal hero and an inspira-
tion to my three brothers and also to
my mother, Eileen.
Sylvia radiates a reserved, self-effac-
ing strength inspiring all around her
to live to their full potential.

Dover's The Oldest
In the interest of grammatical accuracy
and historic veracity, I must correct
your information in Platinum on Sante
Fe N.M. ("Happy Birthday, Sante Fe!"
March 4, page P 10). It is commonly
stated, as you did in your article, that
Sante Fe is the oldest capital city in the
United States.
Actually, Sante Fe is the oldest city
that is now a capital.
There is a difference: New Mexico
did not become a state until 1912. It
was the 47th state.
The oldest capitals would be the
capital cities of the original 13 states.
Delaware, of course, is the first state so
Dover would be the oldest capital city.
I am neither showing off nor split-
ting hairs, but I am being precise.
