Mayim Bialik and her young sons had a “powerful moment of unity and understanding” recently on the New York City subway.

“The Big Bang Theory” star posted about an experience they had this past weekend while in the Big Apple for the Fortnite World Cup.

The photos showed Bialik, 43, and her 10 and 13-year-old sons inside the subway.

“Someone had written the word ‘Nazi’ on a seat,” the caption in the Instagram post read. “My boys noticed it. But so did the other passengers”

Bialik, who has talked about being an observant Jew and last year posted a video titled “Why I’m Religious” on her YouTube channel, wrote that her sons “took out some hand sanitizer and began removing the marking.”

“THIS is America,” she wrote. “It was a very powerful moment of unity and understanding, and I’m grateful that my boys got to witness it in action.”

She also joked about her mode of transportation.

“Also, yes, I ride the subway with my kids,” Bialik wrote. “The most dangerous thing about it is wearing a Yankees hat into Queens.”
