Mainstream narrative about WWII victims inevitably ignores and negates many who lost their lives, including LGBT, the elderly, and disabled people.

These good people loved, helped, worked and shared. They deserved better from the world, and deserve better retrospectively.

Thankfully this gutsy author is daring to speak the truth bravely, in a shockingly fascistic country which incites hate of misunderstood minorities (billionaires gain more advantages by dividing population against itself, and the stupid do their bidding).
