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.

@EUCommission Never again also means, providing assistance and asylum to those fleeing repression, war, and life-threatening conditions, not letting them drown and putting them in camps ... just sayin'

🎯

Which is incompatible not only with the way Frontex conduct their tasks but also the EU's reckless de facto abolition of human rights.

@lipow …and standing up to those (political forces inside Europe and outside, some already in power) who devote all their time and energy to revive this tragic memory. @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.
