Thank you @auschwitzmuseum for your work & for finding such powerful words

In #memory of all who died & suffered. For all who lost loved ones. For all who survived but where broken & lived & suffered on.

For all who helped people that needed help – for all who fought and cared.

Dictatorships are possible when enough people decide to be a part of them

We have to listen to what they say and take it seriously

We can resist their instructions to hate

We can say no. We can #fight & #resist.

There are at least two states that exist right now that have institutionalized concentration camps and torture chambers. One is in the news and produces iPhones and the other I'm currently at war with.

When russia invaded in 2022, they had kill lists and they searched Ukrainian houses to find certain people and kill them on the spot. Others were not lucky either: killed, raped, tortured, male or female, kids, elderly – doesn't matter. Lots of civilians were taken hostage and taken to a "filtration camp", children were taken away immediately and moved to russia to be forcibly adopted by russian families.

"Filtration" was basically a series of interrogations with torture and after every interrogation you could end up in a torture camp forverer, until your body eventually fails. Reasons to be tortured: you are in any little way resemble a Ukrainian, speak Ukrainian and not russian, have a relatives who do, any tattoos especially national symbols, in any way you are connected to the military, police, government and you might've said something unfavorable towards russia in any messaging app that's on your phone (in case of Telegram, the app even allowed russians to serch through deleted messages!). But if you are not sent to be tortured, you're not lucky either as your Ukrainian passport will be taken away and you will be sent to work in russian far east as a slave, just like they did in a soviet union with political prisoners and the crime description didn't change – "being not russian".

On a fourth year of the full-scale war, I wonder if there are any Ukrainians left on occupied territories at all. People try to escape, try to pretend to be loyal to be given a chance but even the money and passports they give you are not valid on the territory of russia thus making your escape as difficult as possible. And eventually russians are moved in to replace the locals. This already happened to Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea, this is in progress for Mariupol.

Auschwitz took time. This too took time. And when we urged anyone to react, cried for help in 2014, nobody believed us. In 2022 we were told there's no point in sending help as we will cease to exist in three days. Despite what everyone believes, I believe that little help we got initially was not in any way decisive, we held off the invasion using soviet and Ukrainian weapons and then there was some western weapons sprinkled in to make our lives a little easier.

I lost hope in that anyone actually cares about this. I don't know what else I can do anymore but to cry into the ether hoping someone eventually finally reacts properly.

No, Auschwitz was a specific project by specific people with a specific ideology, Nazi Fascism.

Nazis did this not all humans.

Please stop normalizing Naziism with false equivalencies.

We are already well on our way by hiding public health data, and telling people that a circulating virus is like a cold, while the medical literature clearly says otherwise.

The people who will be hurt first are those in low paying insecure jobs, crowded housing, and those with limited access to healthcare.

So, so true.

Also true: The Nazis dehumanized and killed Jews and also other groups of people they deemed unworthy of living.

That must be not forgotten as well.

The enormity of hate it took to end up w/place…

We’re ramping up to this level in the #us

Et comme on le voit en Palestine, il n'est pas necessaire de beaucoup d'infrastructure pour en commettre un

Parc contre il faut beaucoup de désinformations, de narrations,et même d'espionnage et d'une presse travaillées au corps.

Not only did it not start with gas chambers but it didn't even start with Auschwitz... many camps were set up before 1940 when Auschwitz opened in order to incarcerate increased political prisoners, resistance groups, and groups deemed racially inferior, such as Jews and Roma (Gypsies) and weaker (handicapped). Among these were Gusen (39) Neuengamme (1940) Gross-Rosen (1940) Auschwitz (1940) Natzweiler (1940) Stutthof a Gestapo Labor Education camp 1942 Majdanek (Feb 1943)

And we have the benefit of retrospect on this. People at the time couldn't imagine that such industrialized genocide was possible, we can.

One no longer needs to wonder or philosophize as to what the true depths of human depravity are, as we see with the jewish holocaust and in places like Gaza, the capacity for depravity goes all the way to the bottomand the only restrictions are those we impose.
