My name is Michael. I am jewish.
According to my family history, my grandmother and her family came over to Canada on one of the last boats from Europe. The next boat full of Jewish refugees were turned back because Canada developed a "none is too many" attitude, and they were killed.
When I heard about this Muslim ban, I got furious and I remember my grandmother's story and know I should do something to help people in the same boat.
Being jewish means nothing if you do not remember what happened to us in the diaspora and use that to strengthen your resolve to fight persecution and make the world a better place.
