I miei pensieri durante la sirena🧵1/7

“Io resterò in piedi e penserò a mia nonna e a mio nonno, ma soprattutto a Gaza.
Non pensare a Gaza oggi significa perdere la propria umanità e profanare la memoria dell'Olocausto”

"Decades ago, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, Hannah Arendt wrote that 'the death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs about a culture about to fall into barbarism.'

The Forward · The profound Yom HaShoah lesson we desperately need to remember under TrumpYom HaShoah taught one writer empathy. Now, looking at photos of men deported under Trump in El Salvador, we need to re-learn the lesson.

It was fascinating listening to the BBC's coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day yesterday. Specifically, fascinating to learn that when they're talking about atrocities that happened 80 years ago, they can really tell it like it is.

Compare and contrast how they wrote about Auschwitz with how they would have written about it if they were following their style guide for writing about present-day atrocities.

bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5yep0l554

Screenshot of text from the BBC's Auschwitz coverage: Auschwitz was originally a Polish army barracks in southern Poland before the Nazis invaded and occupied the country in September 1939, later turning it into a jail for political prisoners. As the war and the Holocaust progressed, the Nazi regime greatly expanded the site. The first people to be gassed were a group of Polish and Soviet prisoners in September 1941. Work began on a new camp, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the following month. This became the site of the huge gas chambers where hundreds of thousands were murdered prior to November 1944, and the crematoria where their bodies were burned. Birkenau was to become the biggest of six Nazi death camps. Three others, at Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka, were also completed in 1942. The first transport of Jews to Auschwitz II-Birkenau was 999 women and girls from Slovakia in March 1942, immediately followed by deportations from France, and later the Netherlands and Belgium. By 1944, 12,000 Jews were being murdered every day.
The same screenshot, but with editing marks added to the text, so it now reads: Auschwitz was originally a Polish army barracks in southern Poland before the German troops arrived in September 1939, later turning it into a jail for people who had committed crimes against German law. As the war progressed, the German army greatly expanded the site, with their customary high level skills in military logistics. The first people to die were a group of Polish and Soviet prisoners in September 1941. Work began on a new camp, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the following month. This became the site of the huge gas chambers where Jewish campaign groups claim hundreds of thousands died prior to November 1944, and the crematoria where their bodies were burned. However, others claim that these figures are greatly exaggerated. Birkenau was to become the biggest of six German correctional facilities. Three others, at Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka, were also completed in 1942. The first transport of Jews to Auschwitz II-Birkenau was 999 women and girls from Slovakia in March 1942, immediately followed by resettlements from France, and later the Netherlands and Belgium. By 1944, 12,000 Jews were allegedly dying every day.

Spannende Beobachtung:
Followerstarke Acc. die jetzt monatelang "ceasefire now" auf allen Kanälen posteten. Sich Richtung Antisemiten entwickelten.
Am 7. Oktober laut schwiegen. Und jetzt auch wieder knallhart sowohl die befreiten als auch die verstorbenen Geiseln der Hamas völlig ignorieren. Gleichzeitig lapidar und emotionslos einen post zum #holocaustmemorialday absetzen.
Seit dem Waffenstillstand aber kein Wort mehr zum gesamten Thema schreiben.
Wie bigott ihr seid

On this #HolocaustMemorialDay, it shouldn't be hard to connect the dots between #RFKJR's offer to #Samoa and Nazi experiments on concentration camp prisoners.

"The whole story behind RFK Jr. & #Samoa's #measles crisis has never been reported. He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

'I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.' "

#Auschwitz survivors warned Monday of the rising #antisemitism which they are witnessing in the modern world as they gathered with world leaders and European royalty on the 80th anniversary of the death camp's liberation. David Lees, Associate Professor of French Studies at the University of Warwick, says that the conflict in Gaza has heightened anti-semitism across the world, playing into the hands of #FarRight movements and parties.

In Remembrance of the Holocaust

"The Nazis closed down Jewish establishments including shops. Burnt Jewish synagogues. Beat Jews in the streets. Disallowed Jews from attending schools and universities, including Jewish professors. Made Jews register and forced them to wear yellow stars on their clothes in order to identify them."

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz/Osvětim concentration camp by the Red Army of the Soviet Union.

We must never forget the horrors that transpired there, and everything that the fascists did, past and present.

Death to fascism, death to nazism, and death to all those that spread, defend and make its proliferation possible.

Quote by colonel Grigorii Davidovich Elisavetskii: When I entered the barrack, I saw living skeletons lying on three-tiered bunks. As in fog, I hear my soldiers saying: ‘You are free, comrades!’ I sense that they do not understand and begin speaking in Russian, Polish, German, Ukranian dialects; unbuttoning my leather jacket, I show them my medals. … Then I use Yiddish. Their reaction is unpredictable. They think that I am provoking them. They begin to hide. And only when I said to them: ‘Do not be afraid, I am a colonel of the Soviet Army and a Jew. We have come to liberate you.’ Finally, as if the barrier collapsed, they rushed towards us shouting, fell on their knees, kissed the flaps of our overcoats, and threw their arms around legs. And we did not move, stood motionless while unexpected tears ran down our cheeks.
