    This siren is the sound of sadness. The first time I heard this siren at 9:05, I actually had no idea what was happening. Every car and person on one of the busiest streets in Istanbul coming to a stop, and the sadness on everyone's faces, was a memory I'll never forget.

    This is insane. Imagine such massive numbers and only in one city ask for her beheading. As a Muslim, I never want to be associated with such people who supposed to be my co-religionists.

    Today I interviewed 87-year-old Milan Hucko in Slovakia. I wouldn’t be alive without him. When he was 14, he and his family decided to hide my grandfather, a stranger, during the Holocaust.
