Kudos to Carrie for writing in clear, articulate, and non-hysterical prose what so many of us are thinking. Too bad those who most need to read it will reject it outright, or more likely won't read it at all.
FWIW, I lost no family to Hitler. But my father was the eldest of 12 siblings in Ukraine, and he somehow made it to America with a mission to help the others get here too.
He succeeded with two sisters. He also got one brother as far as Ellis Island where he was turned away and sent back to Ukraine on bogus charges. That brother, the other eight siblings, the mother and father, and all the relatives were killed by the Communists and no trace remains of them.
Thanks, Surak. I fixed the date (someone else pointed that out). I'll look into your article link about Rosanne Boyland. And I'll forward it to Carrie.
Brief comments. Nothing much of interest took place on January 6, 2020, the election year. The following year, January 6, 2021 was the day the results of the 2020 election were to be certified by Congress. You may want to change that year.
It is not true that only one protestor was killed that day (presumably referring to Ashli Babbitt). Rosanne Boyland was clubbed to death by a US Capitol Police officer. Unlike Babbitt, who was trying to break into Congress, Boyland was outside, on the steps, threatening no one, going nowhere, trapped and then trampled by the crowd, when an officer murdered her.

Thanks Jay! I appreciate it.

Well done.

This was an interracial murder - not that this should matter, but we hear about this issue a lot, so it cuts both ways.
