"The #Detroit #RidefortheLiving is one of many around the globe that are adjuncts to the original Ride for the Living, held every year in #Poland. The original Ride begins at the nefarious #Nazi #concentrationcamp at #Auschwitz- #Birkenau, Poland, and ends at the #Jewish Community Center in #Kraków, Poland.

This international Ride for the Living takes place over four days in Poland in June. It features a 60-mile #bike ride as well as other activities related to the #Holocaust and Jewish community #history. It ends with a #Shabbat dinner. Most important, the Ride commemorates those who were lost in the Holocaust and the resilience of the Jewish people. It’s an impressive event. Just ask Cheryl and Arnie Berlin who took the Ride in Poland (June 7, 2018).

The JCC in Kraków is a prime exemplar for survival and resilience. Before World War II, Poland had the largest Jewish population in #Europe at 3 million."

#Gedenktag #Konzentrationslager #Auschwitz #Birkenau

Heute ist der #RomaResistanceDay, Gedenktag für den #Widerstand der #Roma #Sinti gegen die Vernichtung durch den #Nazi #Faschismus in #Auschwitz gegen ihre geplante Massenvergasung. Am 16. Mai 1944 beschloss die Lagerleitung von Auschwitz, die bis dahin noch etwa 2.900 Roma von #Birkenau zu ermorden - #Porajmos. Diese leisteten verzweifelten Widerstand, worauf die SS vom ersten Räumungsversuch Abstand nahm. Erst in der Nacht vom 2. zum 3. August 1944 überfiel und ermordete sie die restlichen Häftlinge.

Remnants of Dehumanization at Auschwitz II-Birkenau

Walking through the preserved barracks at Auschwitz II-Birkenau confronts visitors with the stark reality of life and death in Nazi concentration camps. This photograph captures one of the sanitation sheds, where rows of crude concrete benches with circular openings served as communal toilets for thousands of prisoners.

Under the holes ran open cesspits or channels, not plumbing. Prisoners had to sit shoulder-to-shoulder, with no privacy at all. There was no running water, toilet paper, or sanitation as we’d understand it.

Prisoners were allowed to use the latrines only at fixed times, usually twice a day. Each use was limited to a few minutes for hundreds of people. Missing roll call because of illness or diarrhea could lead to severe punishment or death.

It was part of the systematic dehumanization of prisoners.

Visiting sites like Auschwitz-Birkenau or viewing documentary photographs serves multiple purposes: honoring the memory of victims, educating future generations, and reinforcing our collective responsibility to recognize and resist hatred, discrimination, and dehumanization in all its forms.

I suspect this is a lesson being forgotten or denied by many today.

27 January 1945 | On Saturday, at around 9 a.m., the first Soviet soldier from a reconnaissance unit of the 100th Infantry Division appeared on the grounds of the prisoners’ infirmary in Monowitz. The entire division arrived half an hour later. The same day a military doctor arrived and began to organize assistance.

In the afternoon soldiers of the Red Army entered the vicinity of the Auschwitz main camp and Birkenau. Near the main camp, they met resistance from retreating German units. 231 Red Army soldiers died in close combat for the liberation of Auschwitz, Birkenau and Monowitz. Two of them died in front of the gates of Auschwitz main camp. One of them was Lieutenant Gilmudin Badryjewicz Baszirow.

The first Red Army troops arrived in Birkenau and Auschwitz at around 3 p.m. and were joyfully greeted by the liberated prisoners. After the removal of mines from the surrounding area, soldiers of the 60th Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front marched into the camp and brought freedom to the prisoners who were still alive. On the grounds of the main camp were 48 corpses and in Birkenau were over 600 corpses of male and female prisoners who were shot or died in the last few days.

At the time of the Red Army’s arrival, there were 7,000 sick and exhausted prisoners in the Auschwitz, Birkenau and Monowitz camps.

Ich war leider zu spät dran, mir online eine Eintrittskarte zu besorgen und hatte auch vor Ort kein Glück (gelegentlich gibt’s noch wenige Karten an der Kassa). #Ausschwitz #Birkenau

What an incredibly harrowing book this is. “The Devil’s Workshop” by the Holocaust survivor Adolf Burger, a Slovakian printer who was arrested by the Nazis and spent time in Auschwitz Birkenau before being recruited into the German “Operation Bernhard” counterfeiting operation.
This is heartbreaking, but the bravery of some prisoners who realised they had nothing to lose is utterly astonishing…

Today's Flickr photo is a most sombre one. It was taken at Birkenau. It shows the remains of Gas Chamber / Crematorium 3. The Nazis dynamited the facilities before they retreated, hoping to erase their purpose and function.

Vigilance and Respect ✡️ ✊

"Il #2agosto1944 fu liquidato il “campo zingari” di #Auschwitz-#Birkenau: oltre 4.000 persone furono sterminate nelle camere a gas."

#Sinti e #Rom vittime sempre dimenticate.
Ieri l'ho dimenticato anche io e mi scuso.
