“We used to welcome refugees because they were Jewish,” Mark Hetfield, president of ⁦@HIASrefugees⁩ , often says. “Today HIAS welcomes refugees because we are Jewish.” #Pittsburgh #NeverAgain https://t.co/JU9twVnFA6

As many nations are securing their borders and turning refugees away, Uganda keeps welcoming them. https://t.co/XeO7khYXpk

@tobiaschneider @faysalitani @hahellyer The book is a true story entrusted to me by Doaa. If I hadn’t written it, I am afraid it would have not been told, her voice a one-day news story. I have been given every assurance this screen adaption and movie will remain true and she will have say.

@brosandprose Thanks for your kind words. Cruella. Doaa entrusted me with her story, and TED gave it a powerful platform followed by @Flatironbooks. Spielberg, J.J. and Lena have assured me their adaption will stay true to the book.

@justmeeshthings Yes, Doaa, who told me every detail of her life and entrusted me with her story and was with me every step of the way in the process of publishing. The movie should stay true too.

@klusumu @Refugees @lenadunham @jjabrams Doaa did tell her story to me so the world could hear it and it could help other refugees, and the book and now the film are the platforms that will make it known.

@klusumu @Refugees @lenadunham @jjabrams Doaa told me her story in intimate detail to tell to the world. She approved of everything in my book.

And I feel very lucky to have the remarkable @lenadunham adapting my book, A Hope More Powerful than the Sea to a screenplay, and the masters, Steven Spielberg & J.J. Abrams making it into a film. https://t.co/wmaMbkqnju https://t.co/PZ7kvD5NVz
