“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.”

[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?

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.
