I made these remarks on Srebernica’s hallowed ground before Ukraine and Gaza cast their giant shadow reminding us how little we have learned. huffpost.com/entry/srebreni…

On the 35th anniversary of the end of apartheid - knowing Nelson Mandela - who emerged from 27 years of prison with his humanity and humor intact - was the privilege of my life. Sadly, Mandiba - as he was known - has no successors on the world stage.

Orban seems not to have learned any lessons from a history which cost my grandparents their lives and my parents their freedom.

My answer to Victor Orban‘s media’s personal attacks against me: I will keep speaking out to remind the world that Hungary is not only about Orban’s volatile nationalism. Hungary has been down this path before with tragic results.

Disgraceful - and heartbreaking. Hungary is again - as in the 30’ and ‘40’s - on the wrong side of history. The question now: Will the EU sanction this member gone rogue? theguardian.com/us-news/2023/d…

The comment was self-referential, of course. But the caller was distraught by the sudden passing of the much younger man, so I appreciated the message. RIP Henry - a flawed but remarkable man of our times

Many around the planet have their HK memories. Mine is the call I got from him several days after Richard Holbrooke’s death. “He was my only peer on the ‘other side’” Kissinger told me,  “Richard’s tragedy was that - unlike Nixon - Obama didn’t want a Big Man in his circle,”

On the 75th anniversary of the murder of  George Polk CBS has revived the story - (including my 30 year old interview). Hope you'll tune in to the much longer version on an upcoming podcast, in honor of our captive colleague, Evan Gershkovich.

On this #WorldPressFreedomDay, I’m proud to present this trailer for a @CBSNewsRadio documentary I’ve produced for air later this month. We’ve dug deep into the CBS News archives and government records to reopen the case and ask… Who Killed George Polk?

I wrote this as warning of the high cost for a nation not facing up to its darkest chapters. The warning was ignored in Hungary and elsewhere. Thanks for reading and for joining the fight for truth - however painful - in our collective memories . nytimes.com/2002/07/21/opi…
