For example:
Has anyone ever figured out what happened to all those detained in the "Alligator camp"?
Or how many "dentention camps" are built already and where?
Could someone start a database already please? Or are we waiting this out until it is "time" for something like #auschwitzmemorial ?
Planning on going to visit Auschwitz? Be aware, many online sites offering tours may cancel at the last minute, or simply offer a transfer service without actual entrance tickets. Some people report being picked up from hotels in the early hours of the morning and dumped at the museum entrance to wait for hours to get tickets.
To avoid this, best to book tickets and arrange public transport under your own steam. 👇👇

I've noticed that I got blocked by some for occasionally boosting posts of the @auschwitzmuseum.
If you're not familiar with that account: it is run by the #AuschwitzMemorial in Poland, and their posts are usually a photograph of a victim of the #holocaust, accompanied by a short text on who they were.
I share criticism of the appointment of some questionable persons as members of their advisory "International Auschwitz Council" (#IAC). Members that relativize genocides, apparently because in their opinions, only a holocaust counts as a "real" genocide, despite the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (#CPPCG) having clear criteria that say otherwise; and despite their own country being a member state of that treaty. Members that also have a track record of proudly defending decades of gross violations of international law.
I'm also alienated by the contrast between the Museum's strong, and almost instant, condemnation of the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine in 2022, and its choice of still staying completely silent, in 2025, on the war crimes being committed in #Gaza. I consider this voluntary bias utterly inappropriate, once you have chosen to speak up on current matters.
You will still see me boosting posts that show a human being, and what a genocidal regime has done to them. Whether it's a historical genocide, or a present one.
Today would be a good day to start following @auschwitzmuseum if you're not doing so already, but be warned about un-CWed content (which I will not boost)
