Happy Hannukah

Every year our card contains a picture that aims at inspiring moral reflection about the world we all share.

The photo by Metin Aktaş was taken during exhumation of bodies of civilians killed by the Russian army in Izium (#Ukraine).

@auschwitzmuseum our liberations are inextricably entwined.

@auschwitzmuseum many people I worked with in Ukraine had Russian roots and were aligned to Russian. When the killing started it must have felt a massive shock that their family and neighbours could do this. There are many horrors yet to be shared as the war continues

@facilitation @auschwitzmuseum It was the same before World War II. Ukrainians murdered their Polish neighbors. Now they have made the instigator of these murders, Stefan Bandera, their national hero.

@tomeq @auschwitzmuseum I remember a quote from A level history supposedly from Lenin that war was "working class people from one country killing working class people from another country" ...
I suspect he did not say this but the sentiment sums of the pointlessness of it all. The "winning" of a war and celebrating the victory covers up so much violence

@facilitation @auschwitzmuseum This is how we here in Poland are trying to implicate Russia in the war, both Mr. Zelencki and our government.

@tomeq @auschwitzmuseum thanks for teaching me about Bandera. I had not heard about this at all. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/03/19/in-ukraine-stepan-bandera-s-legacy-becomes-a-political-football-again
In Ukraine, Stepan Bandera’s legacy is a political football... again

Six decades after Bandera's murder at the hands of Soviet agents in Munich, his life remains a key electoral issue in Ukraine. #UncoveringEurope

@auschwitzmuseum Good morning! Just a quick question. Please forgive my ignorance. I grew up in a neighborhood with a very large Jewish population. Back in my day, the holiday was spelled Chanukah, instead of Hanukkah. Did it change over the years, or are the two interchangeable?

I wish for the war to end and for both sides could go home. We do not need this hatred.

Happy Hanukkah. My niece was learning about the Shoah in school, I am so happy to live in a country where we do talk about and try to learn from the horrors of history. Thank you for your work in continuing to commemorate those who were murdered and helping us all remember.
I pray for peace in Ukraine and all around the world.
