@youranoncentral.bsky.social The next logical step will be extermination. Will they replicate #NaziGermany strategy and use gas? Will they shave the heads and sell the hair, stockpile the shoes and socks and underwear? The #USIsATerroristState. Avoid at all costs. Enter at your own risk #CanadiansBeware. @markjcarney #PMMC when will Canada update its travel advisory to realistically reflect what is happening in the US?

KL Stutthof, German nazi concentration camp, Sztutowo, Poland (part 2 of 2)

It was said that the camp was created by neighbors for neighbors. Survivors recalled that they recognized their old German friends among the supervisors, with whom they had good neighborly relations before the war. However, KL Stutthof quickly became a real death factory. During its nearly six years of existence, from September 2, 1939 to May 9, 1945, 110,000 people from 28 countries passed through it. The Germans murdered about 65,000 people there, mostly Jews. Today, the Stutthof Museum is located on this site, which occupies only one sixth of the former camp. The rest is covered by forest.

@mathiasdarmell Is it enough to boycott #Putin's #Russia? Would it have been enough to boycott #NaziGermany?

#NaziGermany's #ConcentrationCamps were located outside Germany.
They were in #Poland

#FascistAmerica's concentration camps are located outside the #US.
They are in #ElSalvador

KL Stutthof, German nazi concentration camp, Sztutowo, Poland (part 1 of 2)

Konzentrationslager Stutthof was established in 1939 on the annexed territories of the Free City of Gdańsk (Freie Stadt Danzig), near the town of Sztutowo. It was the longest-operating concentration camp outside the pre-war borders of Germany. The first transport of prisoners arrived here on September 2, 1939, and numbered about 150 people. In total, about 110,000 prisoners from 28 countries passed through the camp.

Initially, ten wooden barracks were erected on an area of about 4 hectares, where prisoners were placed. This was the so-called Old Camp. From the very beginning, they were overcrowded, poorly insulated, lacking sanitary facilities and basic equipment. In such conditions, various types of parasites and vermin appeared. It quickly turned out that the plans had to be modified - Stutthof was to be larger than the camp in Auschwitz. At the turn of 1940 and 1941, an SS guardhouse and the camp commandant’s office building were built. When Heinrich Himmler arrived there in November, a decision was made for the Concentration Camps Inspectorate in Oranienburg to take over the camp from the local authorities to whom it was formally subordinate. On January 7, 1942, the camp formally became a concentration camp.

As a German I feel with you. I'm removed generations from Nazi Germany — born in the 60s. It is with mixed feelings to get Germany's past thrown in your face every day with the current sins of the US.

But if Germany's past as the ultimate baddies helps prevent some of the atrocities in this world, I'm good with it.

Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in #NaziGermany

The forgotten Olympic history of #TransAthletes.

by Alex Abad-Santos
Updated Aug 1, 2024

Excerpt: "Outside of the [Olympic] Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros. Despite the International Olympic Committee vowing to be more inclusive, the future for trans athletes is unclear.

"It all raises the question: How did we get to this point, and did it always have to be this way?

"The answers found in historian and journalist #MichaelWaters’s The Other Olympians: #Fascism, #Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports might be surprising. Waters’s book traces the emergence of #ZdeněkKoubek, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.

"Perhaps the most intriguing facet to Koubek’s story was in the public response. Koubek was more welcomed and celebrated than we might imagine. There was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s.

"Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the #1936Olympics in #Nazi Germany. Armed with a propensity for #eugenics, #GenderAnxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into #GenderSurveillance and #TransPanic — stuff that eerily mirrors the #transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today."

Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in Nazi Germany

1934 world champion runner Zdenek Koubek, boxer Imane Khelif, and how far we haven’t come on gender in sports.
