I want to read a book about the Jewish people who survived the Holocaust. Those people amaze me because they literally went through it all then told their story.

Watch "The Paper Clip Project!" It's an awesome documentary (Yes ... true story!) about a class project in Appalachia. Their teacher wanted her closed community to connect with someone very different from themselves. In the context of showing them what "one million" looked like, they started collecting paper clips to represent each of the children killed in the Holocaust. The project grew wings - and you can now visit its' memorial. The story is amazing, and the movie is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon or evening locked indoors!

I like reading I'm not into tv really. I can barely handle a few episodes of Criminal Minds before I shut it off. I think @KDOGG331 told me to watch it a few months ago and I still haven't even made it past season 1

Right!? Plus not only that but the Spanish and French and whoever were here first. Maybe even the Vikings haha definitely not Columbus

Same. with the giant turkey lmao they probably didn’t even have that.

Well, I think it still was planned, according to that article and some stuff I’ve seen, but it was more diplomatic/a business type thing rather than a social gathering and they didn’t even eat together. They didn’t speak the same language and had different meal customs so they would have most likely kept to themselves except the leaders. They didn’t sit at some big table with a huge feast and be best friends lol and plus after all the leaders died, they were no longer friends.

Yeah, it’s really sad. we killed a bunch of them to diseases too besides just the mistreatment.

It was planned as a diplomatic meeting/meal between the head men of both sides - at least that's what the Pilgrims thought. . They were overwhelmed when the Natives brought EVERYBODY! There wasn't enough food, so it became the monster pitch-in meal we celebrate, today. That part of the story is pretty cool!

The Paper Clip Project isn't a series, it's a documentary movie ... and it's well done!
ETA - it's most likely a book, too!

Okay Folks ... It's time to think about the Friday Night Quarantine Movie choices.
What's your favorite "Feel Good Flick?" ... or maybe two ...
Mine is probably Tom Hanks' BIG and the old musical, White Christmas.
DD's is Secretariat.

Sorry, I didn't mean to put that there. Has anyone watched The Last of the Dogmen with Tom Berenger? I like that movie.

This was several pages back, but, here's mine. If it weren't for current events I feel like I would get arrested for wearing this in public, I look like someone who is "up to no good," lol...
