  5. #TheHolocaust #Holocaust #WW2 #War #Racism #Nationalism #Lithuania #BBC #Nazi #Nazis
    A shocking programme highlighting the events before the Holocaust as we know it began. We assume the Nazis were behind all the atrocities, but locals in Lithuania and other countries were also complicit in the crimes. Willingly murdering their Jewish neighbours and treating executions like a spectator sport.
    We think of the Nazis as the embodiment of pure evil, but evil exists everywhere…

  6. “Throughout our trip to Germany, most of the conversations I had with other survivors and their families reliably returned to fears and intergenerational traumas in the context of the Trump presidency; the rise of nationalism, authoritarianism and uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world. But although this was at the height of devastating reports of famine and genocide emerging from Gaza, everyone in our group, especially the Jews, seemed to make a concerted effort to avoid mention of Palestine.”

  7. [1/3] Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum is located on the grounds of the former #Nazi concentration & extermination camp in the town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz is a German exonym). Self-guided visits are free; paid guided tours with “educators” are offered in various languages (tours can also be taken online). Entry passes are limited/ for specific times, so advance online booking is a must. A “Multibook” online course¹ is provided as pre-visit prep. The camp is in three parts: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II–Birkenau & Auschwitz III–Monowitz. Pre-existing military barracks were initially selected in 1940 to house Polish political prisoners; the camps greatly expanded during WWII. An estimated 1.1M people were murdered here—mostly Jews, but also other nationalities, minorities & (often overlooked) people with differences e.g. disabilities.

    The main Auschwitz I entrance gate, as we saw at Dachau, carries the propoganda slogan „Arbeit macht frei” | “Work [will set you] free” (📷1). In reality, most were set free in the camp’s ovens (📷2). The gateway at Birkenau wasn’t a waypoint on a resettlement journey (📷3); for most it was simply the end of the line (📷4).

    A clip from a survivor in the Multibook observes that most Europeans share Judeo-Christian values (whether believers or not) & proposes an 11th Commandment:

    “Thou shall not be indifferent”.

    One only need look at our less-than-glorious history since, or access the current news, to gauge that humanity has learned very little from this shameful place; that indifference is highly prevalent & that acts of #genocide continue. #theHolocaust. #Armenia. #Rwanda. #Cambodia. #Bosnia. #Darfur. #Holodomor. #Guatemala. #Gaza. And more… so many more.

    Why do we the majority keep enabling the minorities who orchestrate mass murder? How do we overcome individual & collective indifference, or suppress the errant socio-political mechanisms that encourage it?

  9. Comparing Netanyahu to Hitler, Israel to Nazi Germany, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people to The Holocaust is wrong.

    Hitler, Nazi Germany, and The Holocaust are a dead villain, a defunct fascist state, and a historic genocide.

    Netanyahu, Israel, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people are a living villain, an existing fascist state, and an ongoing genocide.

  10. One of the questions asked of Germans who lived through #Hitler's rise, #TheHolocaust and #Germany's defeat has been, "When did you know that very bad things were being done to the Jews?"

    Slowly we learnt that generally they knew pretty soon after #TheFinalSolution was begun.
    But that almost everyone felt by then that there was nothing they could do.

    So far Trump has not got #DeathCamps for transgender folk running. But he'd be aiming to have you feeling there is nothing you can do before then

    Genetics can do good like develop cures for infectious diseases and it can be used for evil like justifying the Holocaust. In this episode we hear about two Humanists, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who helped us out of

  17. Fredy (Alfred) Hirsch (1916 – 1944) was a German-Jewish sports teacher born in Aachen known for his openly homosexual lifestyle and his efforts to aid children during the holocaust.

    After the passage of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, + perhaps due to increasing persecution of homosexual men in Germany, Hirsch moved to Czechoslovakia where he met Jan Mautner, another athletics teacher. According to other survivors the 2 were a well known couple in the community.
    In November 1941, Hirsch was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto, a way station to the extermination camps known for its relatively rich cultural life. Fredy took a leadership role for the children. He was known to be an extremely strict instructor insisting on impeccable hygiene which helped to lower the death rate.

    These efforts continued after Hirsch was deported to Auschwitz in September of 1943. The Jews from Theresienstadt received privileged treatment - they were established in a separate block known as the family camp where they were tattooed, but were not subject to selection, and were not forced to shave their heads. But it was all an illusion as the group was slated for extermination in 6 months time.

    Because of the respect + admiration Hirsch received from his fellow inmates, the resistance movement of Auschwitz pinpointed Fredy as a key player in a planned revolt. After uncovering an execution date for the first transport to the family camp resistance leaders asked Hirsch to lead the Jewish sector in revolt. As usual Fredy's first concern was for the welfare of the children in his care. It was explained to him that the children would have to fend for themselves during such a revolt - and that they were slated for death regardless. According to testimony, Hirsch asked for time alone to consider his options. Unable to desert his children Hirsch committed suicide. Other theories say that camp doctors, who were not slated for execution, poisoned Hirsch to save their own lives.

  18. I didn’t expect a visit to the “Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe” in Berlin to affect me as much as it did; a feeling of angst and sadness stuck with me for a while after going there. #antisemitism #TheHolocaust #neverforget

    White Pocket - a beautiful but hard to get to place in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. We camped out there to catch the sunrise. It was a cold night, but our dogs kept us warm in the tent. Sunrise at White Pocket is a pretty magical experience. It's miles of very deep sand to reach it. Needs a 4x4, for sure

  20. A school district in Tennessee recently removed Art Spiegelman’s Holocaust comic “Maus” from its curriculum. In an interview, the artist discusses his view of the controversy and why he fears American democracy is facing dark years ahead.
