At a time of rising antisemitism in the US, his presence spoke volumes, and that was the point.
Some 10,000 people from all over the world gathered last week in Poland for the annual March of the Living, a 2-mile walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau, where Nazis murdered over a million civilians – mostly Jews – during World War II. One of the most famous marchers was Meek Mill, a 35-year-old African American rapper from Philadelphia without any prior connection to the atrocities that happened there.
When Meek was incarcerated, Kraft visited him in prison, and the two stayed in touch and have remained friends. Mill’s case helped spur activism among many high-profile figures, including Kraft, on the issue of criminal justice. “It’s important for me to learn humanity’s history,” Mill said. “But I think it’s also important for me to support Robert, all my Jewish friends, everyone that always supported me. Robert supported me at a very high level.
