28 October 1940 | During the afternoon roll-call a prisoner was found missing. A penal roll-call was ordered. Prisoners had to stand “at attention” in their uniforms but without coats, jackets, hats or shoes. It was sleeting the whole day.
The roll-call was called off around 9 pm after the missing prisoner was found. He had tried to hid from the rain and died in his hiding place in the camp.
After the roll-call 120 dead, unconscious or sick prisoners were collected from the roll-call square.
Anyone claiming #Israel is doing this in #palestine needs to go read the terrible history of the #holocaust
@septerverius @auschwitzmuseum
Both sides?
What about #syria, #lebanon, #egypt, #jordan as well?
They are all allowing rockets to be fired into Israel?
Cease fire needs to include never raping and murdering Israelis for political gain.

... Almost...but 😡
Try again.
"There's no excuse for making #Holocaust comparisons towards #Jews ever."
Try it out
We haven't learned much since then

I read about the Holocaust some when in highschool in the early 60s. It was overwhelming and I didn't understand it.
I talked to our school principal about it a few times, thinking that since he'd served in the war he could help me understand it.
He tried.
Now in my 70s with over a half century of observing the human race since highschool, I still find it overwhelming and I still don't understand it.
