"Every #May8, #Europe commemorates the defeat of #Nazi #Germany and the end of one of history’s greatest evils. Political leaders deliver solemn speeches about freedom, democracy and the obligation to remember the victims of #fascism.
But in #Latvia, a disturbing contradiction continues to unfold in plain sight.
At #RigasBrothers’ #Cemetery—the country’s most sacred military burial ground, Latvia’s equivalent of Arlington National Cemetery—rests #SS-#Standartenführer #VoldemārsVeiss, a man associated with the Nazi occupation apparatus and the persecution of #Riga’s #Jews. Flowers continue to appear at his grave even as Latvia officially participates in ceremonies marking the defeat of #Nazism.
What makes this even more disturbing is where he is buried.
#Veiss rests in the most sacred section of the cemetery..."

Let us remember
In #Vienna we celebrate the Festival of Joy to remember the 8th of May 1945.

Schon zum 22. Mal: Am 8. Mai startet die dreitägige "Stunde der Gartenvögel" - die wohl größte Mitmach-Zählaktion. Im letzten Jahr wurden > 1,1 Millionen Vögel in ~ 40.000 Gärten gezählt. Die Auswertungen ermglichen tiefe Einblicke in die Entwicklung der Vogelarten.

8 травня як день згадки, яку ціну довелося заплатити світу за непокаране в своєму зародку зло у вигляді нацизму 30-х років в Німеччині.
Друга світова призвела до десятків мільйонів загиблих та співпраці між нациським та радянськими режимами в кінці 30-х
Совок і нацисти – зло

Today, May 8, 2025. On May 8, 1945, let us not forget the massacre that took place in Sétif, Guelma, and Kherrata, where over 45,000 Algerians were killed.
They took to the streets to demand a free and independent Algeria, and France did not hesitate to commit these atrocities.
رحمهم الله 🇩🇿

People ‘freaking out’ over the low approval polling ⬇️ of #POTUS #JoeBiden need to remember that in 2016 his campaign bus RAN OUT OF GAS ⛽️ in #NewHampshire !
An old fox 🦊 is still a wily fox! 😉
The Nazis unconditionally surrendered on #May8 1945, so today’s a good day to remind everyone in America 🇺🇸 #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists !
