Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust, and we stand with those who survived.

We also mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This dark memory must be passed to future generations.

Never again.

@lipow @EUCommission

It should mean stepping in to stop the on-going genocide right now, to save the living people who can be saved right now.

All I can think when these memorials and remembrances come around is "Why bother?"

Humanity has shown they have no intention of stopping it from happening again, and again. So why do we bother to remember? May as well do it like China where we all just agree to pretend nothing happened.

Genocide Watch exists to predict, prevent, stop, and punish genocide and other forms of mass murder. We seek to raise awareness and influence public policy concerning potential and actual genocide. Our purpose is to build an international movement to prevent and stop genocide.

"Never again" would mean
never again (complicity in) genocide,
never again camps,
never again dehumanising & discrimination.

"never again" means to fight against all those who are committing genocide,
Action against those who are building camps, who are committing war crimes, discriminating or dehumanizing. You are doing the opposite.

Your post is hypocrisy.

@EUCommission It would also be nice to return family stuff that is still being held by the camp museum, despite promises of return. They promised for years, but nothing changed and families are still waiting for the return of their loved ones' mementos. How much longer will this take? Museum makes money off someone else's property, regardless of the fact that belongings should return home. It is a shame and disgrace for the Polish government that it does not keep its promises!

@EUCommission In the Netherlands we're slowly approaching 4th of Mei, the yearly memorial of the death. Last year a Neo-fascist member of parliament was allowed to be present at this memorial and in the spotlights. Besides that an activist was not allowed to protest to that anywhere near. Roma and Sinti had their death memorial on another day.

Do we learn from the past ? Do we want to learn ?

If we do not learn from the past why do we keep on having these yearly memorials and these daily photos of Auschwitz memorial on Mastodon boosted by many people ?

Dutch government and Dutch companies are complicit in the ongoing genocide, starvation, torturing and dehumanization of the Palestinian people. But since decades it is economy and profits first in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is by far the top trader number one in Europe when it comes to trading goods with the terrorist state of Israel. The false idea that Israel is the only place safe for Jews is used as a cover to continue profiting, ethnic cleansing, racism and exploitation.

And this is about politicians which ought to represent the people. But do they ? Or do they represent the lobby groups, climate change deniers and the weapon industry ?

Never again is NOW, and that includes Gaza, Westbank, and Sudan #boycott #israel
