"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.'
I wish more people could see what I see, what I learned to see on that long ago Yom HaShoah..." https://forward.com/opinion/714463/the-profound-yom-hashoah-lesson-we-desperately-need-to-remember-under-trump/

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.
Auschwitz. The indomitable spirit of the women of the Holocaust. This excerpt portrays four women who endured brutal torture to reveal the camp resistance and kept their silence. The SS hanged them. mybook.to/TouchingtheWire 'heartrendingly brilliant' #HolocaustMemorialDay
Last day #FREE He longed to be there but his legs wouldn't carry him another mile. A tapestry of stars reduced him to insignificance as he surveyed the patchwork of woods and fields between him and the camp. Not a light showed from barrack block or guard tower. He raised his head to the heavens, wanting to howl like a wolf. 'Miriam...' https://mybook.to/TouchingtheWire #HolocaustMemorialDay Giving the women of Auschwitz a voice.

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.

Rant_ifa 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.

This #HolocaustMemorialDay I thought about this book and this quote an awful lot. #WeRemember the awful things, and I think we should also remember the things which, throughout history, people did to stop fascism from happening.
(I run out of text limit when I try to fully alt-text this quote but the full text of the preface is here:

The quote starts with the paragraph that goes, "this art of living")

In Remembrance of the Holocaust
https://marionsmumblings.online/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.
For some reason, my university’s #holocaustmemorialday event is tomorrow (online). I’m going. I just really hope some of the young students do too
Never Again.
Not for anyone anywhere.
When I was 13 Mrs. Huish our history teacher said 'Now it is time for you all to learn about the Holocaust' and rolled up her sleeve to show us the numbers tattooed on her arm.
When my dad came to France as a 7-year-old refugee in 1938, he had a large family with hundreds of relatives in Austria and France. By 1944, almost all had been murdered.
He survived to tell me their stories. #HolocaustMemorialDay #HolocaustRemembranceDay #WeRemember
99-year-old Anita Lasker-Wallfisch is the last remaining survivor of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. She attributes her survival to the fact that the orchestra needed a cellist. She spoke to @BBCNews in 1945, on the day of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen death camp to which she had been transferred six months before, and again in 1996. Here is her story, details of which some readers may find distressing. Having vowed never to set foot again on German soil, she later softened her stance and went in 2018 to Berlin to address the Bundestag (parliament). She told them: "As you see, I broke my oath – many, many years ago – and I have no regrets. It's quite simple: hate is poison and, ultimately, you poison yourself."
