Heute vor 81 Jahren wurde das #Konzentrationslager #Auschwitz befreit. Etwa 1,1 Millionen Menschen starben allein im Stammlager Auschwitz und den dazugehörigen Nebenlagern. Darunter war auch die jüdische Sozialistin, Kommunalpolitikerin und Publizistin Luise Kautsky. #VerbrannteOrte #LuiseKautsky #Auschwitz #Holocaust #Weremember #Keinvergessen #Berlin #Wien #Herstory #jewishhistory #RosaLuxemburg #MinnaKautsky #KarlKautsky #Workingclasshistory #AndiesemTag #Onthisday
