A cousin in Alaska, where COVID-19 is raging, reported recently that the mayor of Anchorage had encouraged people to wear a yellow Star of David as a protest against masks and vaccine mandates. That same mindlessly offensive linkage of life-saving measures with the extermination of Jews is spreading here in Maine thanks to Facebook and other internet platforms.
Using comparisons to Nazi Germany is a shameful abuse of history for political gain.
