Standing Up Against Antisemitism is for Everyone

June 10, 2009 marked the first and last time I was surprised by the depths of human hatred. I was driving to D.C., returning to an internship at the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, where I was working on the extradition of a Nazi war criminal. Just outside of Crystal City, I heard that a hateful 88-year-old white supremacist had walked into the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and shot and killed Special Police Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns.
