A Denunciation
We didn’t do many movies when I was in high school, but I went to see The Hiding Place with my church youth group. I’d read the book, but was not truly prepared to see a family risk everything to hide their Jewish neighbors and then be incarcerated in the Ravensbruck concentration camp on screen. I wondered if I would have been as brave as the ten Boom family.

Is AI Content Welcomed on Vocal?
I need to start with the facts: AI is permitted on Vocal as long as it follows Vocal policy and Community Standards. Plagiarism is not permitted on Vocal. It is a violation of Community Standards, and could lead to expulsion from the platform and open the plagiarist to civil or criminal penalties.
