It's National Holocaust Day

[Guest]

Once again this sad Memorial Day has come around . 

Lets spend just a short time remembering the millions who have been murdered  World wide by people who think they are superior to others .

[crookesey]

Only one Nazi mass murderer was executed in the then new State of Israel, this says far more for the survivors of the Holocaust than it does for those that would erase them.

Photos of more than 60 "camp survivors and refugees" have gone on display to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Generations: Portraits Of Holocaust Survivors includes images taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales and Royal Photographic Society president Simon Hill.

It opens at the Imperial War Museum North in Greater Manchester later.

Mr Hill said it had been "an immense privilege" to work with the survivors and their families.

The Holocaust was the attempt by the Nazis and their collaborators to murder all the Jews in Europe and saw more than six million men, women and children murdered between 1941 and 1945.

This really should be up there with Remembrance Sunday in importance. 

Sadly barbaric Genocide still goes on around the world, along with wars and race hatred. 

It shouldn't, but man's inhumanity to man is seemingly boundless, and this needs highlighting on a regular basis until it becomes a shameful and unthinkable thing of the past.

Holocaust  happened all over the World , Many Countries in Europe  helped the Germans to murder millions of Jews , They are very quiet when it comes to remembering those times . 

The Turkes preceded Germany. In exterminating races they just did not like when they starved and shot millions of Armenians , The West turned a blind eye to that and even today Britain has not recognised that period  in History although most civilised Countries have .

There have been many instances in Africa  where minoritys have been killed as well as other places around the World

When unhinged Leaders label huge swaths of their voting populations "a cancer", "parasites". "irredeemable:", "deplorable" and "fascist", war is not far off.

 

It happened in 1930s Germany, and again, more recently in America.

 

And. yes, we have another war in Europe.

 

It's important to remember, but more important to learn!

Given your total and utter failure to have any clue what really happened in 1930's Germany...

 

...clearly, advice that you've spent a lifetime ignoring!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somewhat more on topic, and currently available on iPlayer... the excellent Ken Burns documentary:

 

"The US and the Holocaust"

Well worth a watch.

Yes it was excellent.

Not an easy watch though, I could hardly believe what I was watching, it was that shocking

 

 

But without going into to much detail, I do believe it's important to be aware of those  atrocities. if we turn a blind eye we are  ignoring recent history which is a form of denial, 

and we all know what denial can lead to

It should remind us of what humans are capable of doing to each other, "in the name of the State!".

 

I've seen it up close, several times.

 

And how a civilized society can commit and accept all manner of incursions into basic freedoms, if duly AUTHORIZED by the  powers that be, their "experts" and their Media parrots, and an enabling public. And any dissent is censored and publicly shamed.

 

Vote, and vote wisely!

Indeed, some sickening stuff.

 

A lot of the talk of joining or supporting those under threat appears to be being repeated today, with regard to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Sadly, as is self evident... there are still plenty out there doing precisely that.
