My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

My dad fought fascism in the South Pacific. I grew up listening to stories about fighting the Japanese Emperor.
No pasarán.
What scares me the most is how people are sitting back and watching this happen. We must stand up/ speak out in any way possible. I am attending my 1st of many anti-Trump protests tomorrow.
It took some time before I could get behind the good people there today.
It was worth the effort.
Imagine someone who knew what they were doing leading the army, or allowing generals to make decisions.
Hitler made many mistakes; good at PR, but a poor leader.
Thanks for sharing this. I was raised knowing about WWII. The knowledge, pictures, stories & lessons have never left me & I'm incredulous & deeply ashamed so many in USA have historical amnesia & civic ignorance. This is good advice.
I am German and we had to go on a day trip to the closest camp. In 6th grade at age 12, at a working camp (deemed to young to see a kill camp). It was a "don't do it again" lesson.
We're all in this together.
I'll not stand by and let them get a foothold.
Whatever it takes.
they re doing the same thing again, not sure how they manipulate so many people but i think throug Angel's powers and mass media ... the devil is in the house (musk)
I am not going to forget that anytime soon.

We say the election was turned by algorithms, WAY beyond "free speech." The Constitution does not require we accept this, but ASSUMES free and fair elections (Yarbrough 1884).
Until November 2024, I thought we Americans would collectively and finally stand up and vote to keep the American Idea alive.

Love is more than tenderness and compassion. Love is a mama bear or lioness fighting to the death to save her cubs...I weep for lives lost in Witch trials, Auschwitz, Killing Fields, gulags et al and call upon their Spirits for Strength.

I have no familial connection to Auschwitz, but I made a point to go when I was in Poland because I think it’s important to understand history,not just read about it. I wanted to lie down, fold into the fetal position, and stay that way when I saw the room full of personal items like BABY SHOES.
This is not only happenning is US. Israel has been doing it in plain sight. The far right are getting a foothold in many countries.

All of us should read those powerful words and reflect about them. All of us.
Her advice which lives on is powerful truth.
The Democrats in Congress and the White House have less than 2 months to use some stones to stop what's coming.
No, it is barely a year before we gear up to take back the House, are you ready??? I am not, will need t recover from this last one but I'll be up for it shortly.
I spent 24 years as a local journalist. Major Media fail is stunning now. Local papers are fewer.
Local papers never could replace the classifieds, a news orgs are searching for a business model. F trump, we must do what we need to.

Stand up for others.
Always.

They can kill us by withholding information about epidemics, they can kill us by withholding life saving medical advances. They can kill us by not allowing us to exist, as is happening with Trans and NB people.
It's a feature, not a bug.

Namaste 🙏🏽
“Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding.”💔
Equally tragic, brave and wise.
Check out my daily 🧵of editorial cartoons, pinned to my profile, to see if you want to follow me back.

Profound. 🙏🏼
That should be the first thing we tell ourselves every morning for the next four years.
Thank you Sara.
And fearful.
(Nie wieder Krieg... 😶)
I get tears when I think of what they went through. I had family there as well💔
No words are enough.
I wholeheartedly agree with this: “Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding.”
I followed you. Please follow back. 🤠

May we know -- and invoke -- her name? (First only is fine).
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My great uncle liberated two camps during WWII. It broke his heart and something in him was never the same - it was the horror of seeing man's inhumanity to man, and the destruction of a country who blindly followed a madman who hated anyone different and who wanted to rule the world.
