Our April 2025 protest took place on Yom HaShoah, a day when people who died during the #Holocaust are remembered. We said "Never again!" to #genocide as we protested the Chinese government's genocide of its #Uyghur population.

A new wave of research into genocide is overturning stories about victims going meekly to slaughter.
Resistance was frequent, both among the Armenians (against whom the Turks began a genocide #OTD in 1915) and among Jews during the Holocaust.

On #YomHaShoah יום השואה my fondest wish is that we not repeat the horrors that we today commemorate.
I am not optimistic.

Below, drawn by Hedwig Brahn in 1944, included in Philipp Manes' memoirs, the 'Tatsachenbericht - Terezín Street, which documents life in the Theresienstadt Ghetto.
From “Holocaust History: Concentration Camps,” Chapman University, Orange, California. “Theresienstadt ghetto and concentration camp were located in Terezín, Czech Republic, in a former military fortress. Initially, it was established as a ghetto for Czech Jews. Later, it served as a concentration and transit camp for German and Western European Jews. In 1942, SS authorities deported Jews to concentration camps, forced-labor camps, and killing centers. In the camp itself, thousands of people died from disease or starvation.
In 1944 the Nazis temporarily beautified Theresienstadt to deceive an investigating committee from the International Red Cross to make a film that pictured the ghetto as a 'spa town' where elderly German Jews could retire. The barracks were removed, houses were painted, and gardens planted, however, this was an elaborate hoax. The Nazis staged social and cultural events for the visitors. The facts were very different. Of the approximately 140,000 Jews transferred to Theresienstadt, 33,000 died, and 90,000 were deported; only about 19,000 survived. Children were sent to Theresienstadt. About 15,000 children passed through, and 90 percent of these children perished in the killing center.”
