Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, a time to honor the resilience of survivors and remember those who perished.
Let us reflect on the lessons of history and commit to a future of justice, compassion, and the fight against hate.

This is interesting. The documentary was made in 1955 by Eisenhower, so that the Holocaust would never be forgotten or denied.Up until at least December it could be streamed for free.notnow
AIDS sufferers Reagan ignored.
That same long term starved look.
The gays in the camps were not liberated.

Growing up in that environment distorts your world as tho you're living underwater & everything is oddly distorted

We cannot stop. We cannot back down. We cannot succumb to exhaustion.
We owe it to those who came before and those who will come after.
Do not forget. Do not forgive.
DO NOT REPEAT!

Have mercy.
Then you have Elo with zero emotions using it all as another “performance”.

But not a single world leader or Auschwitz survivor has actually linked the message of Auschwitz to Gaza
It is like they've all stopped mid-sentence
"We shouldn't forget so that we never repeat such atrocities ... *crickets*"
Over 80 years ago, my family members were slaughtered in the Holocaust. Before that they were slaughtered in Pogroms.
Almost no one spoke out to help them. Speak out so history doesn't repeat itself!
Fk Nazis!
President Donald Trump marked 80th anniversary of Auschwitz by rounding up migrants, pardoning 1/6/21 insurrectionist w “Auschwitz” shirt, and goose stepping to “Springtime for Hitler” in Nazi uniform

Some have it worse
I'm afraid history is repeating because we don't want to recognize the signs of it repeating.
Lessons lost. Sad & shameful.
I knew a man in indianapolis who was a Jewish captain in the army. He was one of the first Americans to free Auschwitz. Chilling stories.
Dachau, opened in 1934 was "initially intended to intern Hitler's political opponents, which consisted of communists, social democrats, and other dissidents"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp
opened in 1933
I'll never, ever, ever forget!
Some were not liberated even by the allies. They were considered less than human.

This bent psychopath kept Hitler’s Mein Kampf on a nightstand next to his bed.
Donald Drumpf is an evil that needs to be stopped soon, before he starts killing en masse.
Hitler didn’t get to be Hitler without slaughter millions of people.

They know they aren’t intelligent so they lean heavily on physical violence.
Hitler epitomizes this scenario, brute physical force to make another bend to their will.
The authoritarian playbook, violence.
The dead can’t talk back.
In other words evil thrives within the Republican Party and always has.
But I understand what you’re getting at. This monster won’t leave willingly if he’s still kicking.
What is happening in the USA is unfathomable.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, #WeRemember the 6 million Jews, and millions more, slaughtered by Nazis.
As antisemitism rears its ugly head once again we must speak out against hatred & racism to ensure #NeverAgain means something.
In the face of darkness, be the light.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Trump is starting to do cruel things too. But, when will his insanity end?
Yeah baby! Ha ha
Humans are able of unbelievable cruelty. We have to fight back, speak out against today’s Nazis and ignorance.
🚨BREAKING: Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, to Al Jazeera:
“Israel is testing weapons on us that we do not recognize. They drop bombs with terrifying sounds, and when a person gets within 200-300 meters of them, they vaporize.
These are the “innocent teenage girls” that Israel keeps portraying whenever anything happens to them.
Leaders from all over the world, including Zelensky.
Trump out playing golf..can't be bothered with all that icky history shit! Sent his rich billionaire jews in his place. Wasn't that good enough??
they’d better do some serious book reading and learn how we are approaching round 2 of this same terror.
BTW, real history books, not drivel from Fox.
If this is a man.
Survival was just luck. Destruction of lives was an industry.
It started by a leader that was scapegoating a defenseless group of citizens.
See the parallel to our current times?

There have been many holocausts in almost every nation yet we still haven't learned the lesson.
Don't put up despots in charge of your country.
Fight for democracy and don't get complacent once you've achieved it.
You have to be vigilant.
Mini series starring the great Anthony Hopkins as a doc who goes on trial in England as a Nazi war criminal. Shows actual NAZI films abusing prisoners for sick medical experiments
They documented evidence
that convicts themselves
This survivor wore his prisoner hat.
Now if only that would work.
grandfather taught me when I was young about the atrocities of The Holocaust 😢 & was so
Privileged to meet a survivor, our good friend’s Mother in NY who is still a living testament of strength & determination! 🙏🏻
Claude Lanzmann's award-winning documentary masterpiece, "Shoah," comprised of interviews conducted with four women who survived the Holocaust, each finding herself improbably alive after war’s end.
It is shocking.

Jews, Roma Gypsies, communists, gay men (some of whom went straight into jail after liberation), prisoners of war, he disabled, multitudes of different people
