Nancy Reagan and her husband were silent as tens of thousands died. They were monsters.

I am glad you read the article. She deserves a monument in her honor and in the memory of those she cared for as they died. I have read that article multiple times, and it is impossible for me not to tear up every time I read it. It is just so impossibly awful that it is difficult to understand. Yet, it is like an invisible history. It's like a plague swept through the country, killing tens of thousands, but the country refuses to recognize it. It's like the Holocaust happening, but the country decides that it didn't take place.

I think it is important to contrast Ruth's story alongside that video of how the White House responded. When you put those two things together, you really see the depth of villainy that was sweeping through the country at the time. You see the depth of human depravity, callousness, and cruelty.

It also becomes clear that it was an unforgivable crime against humanity to remain silent.
