@humanrightswatch My grands were there. After the liberation by us army, on the way back home were captured by soviets and sent behind the Ural mountains into the syberian gulag, where both spend five years. After the cccp announced amnesty, they only reached PL on foot, because former prisoners were not allowed by polish communist government at the time to go further west. Grands were forced to settle and work in PL. They tried but never got back home to Frankfurt am Main. Both died in Poland.

@humanrightswatch As you said, action must accompany the messages, giving safety to people at risk of death and/or #genocide. Growing up, I heard a constant drumbeat of "Never Forget" and "Never Again." Saying the words hasn't worked at all.

@humanrightswatch hey y'all, can I gently request that you use the Content Warning feature when posting photos of concentration camps? Importance of the messaging aside, there are folks with PTSD related to places like prisons and POW camps who can get a real bad trip from photos like this.

@humanrightswatch My father was one of the American Soldiers that liberated the camps, he started to talk about it one time at a family dinner, he suddenly went white and stopped. He never spoke of it again. I watch Schindler’s list every year in his and their honor. Never let anyone forget the horror inflicted by the German Christians!
