The term "sport" in KL Auschwitz was distorted by using it to refer to the exhausting exercises combined with the drill and singing applied on a mass scale. This form of sport, referred to after the war as pseudo-sport, was usually a way of enforcing discipline and punishing prisoners. However, among people deported by the Germans to Auschwitz, there were pre-war sportsmen and sportswomen: Olympians and national champions. Some prisoners had also the opportunity to practice some sports in the camp. These included wrestling and boxing, as well as games such as soccer, volleyball, and basketball. Mind sports were also popular among prisoners, particularly chess, but also card games. Renata Koszyk, an educator at the Auschwitz Memorial and curator of the exhibition dedicated to this topic, talks about sport and sportspeople in Auschwitz.
On this day in 1945, Auschwitz was liberated. Today, the world marks International #HolocaustRemembranceDay.
We can say “never again” all we want, but only constant effort to defend universal human rights has a chance of making that ambition a reality.
Ahaha no way.
Rowan – a brand whose marketing seems firmly grounded in an idyllic image of bougie England – several years ago released a pattern called ‘Gramsci’.
Gramsci. The Marxist philosopher. The guy who wrote at length about how culture can normalise and maintain the ideology (and power) of the dominant class. Culture like, say, the aspirational content of a Rowan magazine?

@gibbondemon "Deeply satisfied" is probably a good description, for me. The sense that I identified challenges, arranged my resources, managed to mature sufficiently to press on through some tough bits, and... in my case, it was #knitting my first sweater. And then my first #KnitFromTheTop sweater...
Project completion was how I achieved validation. So many traumas suddenly left behind! So much, "Yes, before there was nothing, then I MADE THIS." A glow of creation from a pile of chaotic bits.
