NEW: This is Kitty Saks, a Holocaust survivor. The US Air Force wrote an article on her to mark the Holocaust Day of Remembrance. It is one of 1000s of articles REMOVED from the Pentagon website as part of the purge of material “promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) content”.

Two people are reported to be in critical condition. Others are feared buried under the rubble of the hotel in the Ukrainian city. A war crime committed by Russians, aided and abetted by the US Government. Infamy. (📸 Euromaidan)
