By |April 26th, 2024|

Early Thursday morning, students erected tents at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in solidarity with the Palestinian people. By early afternoon, the encampment on Royce Quad was full of tents and surrounded by a barrier wall made of pallets and plywood. Students lounged on blankets, led chants, and readied themselves for a protracted protest – chief among their demands was UC’s divestment from military and weapons manufacturers, profiteers of war and, students say, the ongoing destruction of Gaza by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

I am an investigative reporter. A title that I have dreamt of holding for as long as I can remember, and today it is mine. For over half a decade, I have made America my home. Each brick of that home is a testament to the trials I have endured by myself in hopes that it will all pay off one day. Writing has forever been my refuge, my sanctuary, and my companion – it is my canvas upon which I paint the hues of my existence.

By |February 23rd, 2024|

The first time Joseph Alexander encountered Josef Mengele was the same as many meetings with the Doctor of Death — one where one’s life was in his hands. Seeing the group of elderly and young Jews that he had been grouped with, Alexander — known then as Idel — knew he had to make a gamble with his life on the line.
