@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
