80 years ago the Concentration Camp Ausschwitz was liberated.
With fascism showing its murderous face in many places in the US and in Europe today is an important day to restate: Never again.

A thing that surprisingly challenging: Replacing Google Docs to make presentations.
I create basically all my presentations in GDocs cause I can work on them from whatever machine I have in front of me, I can easily share it, and I can present easily wherever I have a browser.
