#and listening to the song he composed 'tsen brider'

Watched Transatlantic last night and it had me thinking about an essay I wrote a few years ago about art as a form of resistance in Nazi occupied parts of Europe. Art is such a deeply powerful tool, as the Nazis very much recognized, and as arguments occur NOW about book banning and censorship it seems particularly important that we remember why people ban/try to ban certain art, and why it's important not to let them.
