It cannot be emphasized enough how important it is to remember this horrific period of history. It was real. It isn't something to mock or emulate. We aren't living in a novel or a movie; this could become reality if the hate and division don't stop. We need to stand up for Democracy and morality.
the man you're replying to is a rabid anti-Arab racist who supports Israel's genocide whole-heartedly. he's also been stalking my replies with his psychopathy. there's no hope for him, best not to engage
Hey, I wasn't going to engage this digression, but this was about the Holocaust. It's not about Israel or Palestinians. It's about giving grace and remembering Hitler. Clearly there are a lot of bigoted people on both sides, even on bluesky.
When Teresa Regula arrived at Auschwitz as a 16-year-old, the first real pain she experienced was of her ears burning. 'They shaved us down to bare skin... That was the first authentic pain I felt,' said the now 96-year-old Jewish survivor https://reut.rs/3WAzdh3 2/8
The Gestapo took Regula and her mother from their home in Krakow in 1944 and sent them to the Plaszow camp, where her mother was executed. Teresa was taken to Auschwitz and given the number 22011. Once a healthy child, she contracted chickenpox, measles and scarlet fever 3/8
What kept her alive was the thought that 'my father, who I always believed could do anything, would come and take me out of there'. She later learned that he was mistakenly shot dead by Russian forces when they liberated the Gross Rosen camp in what was then eastern Germany 4/8
'When I returned (from the camp), I thought 'I'm never going to have children — ever'. If they had to go through even a fraction of what I went through, I didn't want that,' the retired sociologist said 5/8
Janina Iwanska, a Polish Catholic woman sent to Auschwitz, has also remained childless. 'I won't live much longer. But when I look at the youth ... what will their future be? I see it as bleak,' she said, citing divisions in modern society and predicting another war 6/8
Janina remembers the smell of burning bodies. She cared for children in her block, earning rewards like hot milk soup. 'The children were treated differently; they didn't have to work. They only had to wait patiently — either for their mothers or for the war to end' 7/8
As a kid in military life in Germany, seeing the tragic horrors done to so many people was crazy. If u think fascism and nazis are OK, funny, etc, I recommend u visit Dachau, Auschwitz, and other camps. While u r there, imagine U are there living the horrifying life, then tell me ur opinion.
So the Jews want us to feel sorry for those that experienced Genocide but who are NOW no better than the Nazi’s who sent them to the Gas Chambers.
All the Worlds sympathy for survivors has been completely eroded by Netanyahu & now most think we should’ve let WW2 go another 2 years,hence no Israel😡😡
