Auschwitz. The indomitable spirit of the women of the Holocaust. This excerpt portrays four women who endured brutal torture to reveal the camp resistance and kept their silence. The SS hanged them. https://mybook.to/TouchingtheWire 'heartrendingly brilliant' #Holocaust

Let's see how the police behave today on the #London #Palestine demo protesting #genocide by the rogue terrorist state of #Israel. Is starvation as a weapon of war (under supposed ceasefire) OK? Bombing #maternity #hospitals to increase maternal/child mortality rates?

Will they arrest more #Holocaust survivors today?

It's not fair to blame #Hitler for the #Holocaust, when his minions could have said no, says President #Musk - https://boingboing.net/2025/03/14/its-not-fair-to-blame-hitler-for-the-holocaust-when-his-minions-could-have-said-now-says-president-musk.html "The post literally said, "Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did."

Faschist Elon #Musk hat einen Post geteilt, der Hitler vor der Verantwortung des #Holocaust in Schutz nimmt. Warum sind die deutschen Politiker noch auf Twitter? www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/mu...

Musk verharmlost den Holocaust...

Musk Boosts Claim That Hitler Wasn’t to Blame for Holocaust

The MAGA millionaire reposted a tweet saying “public sector workers”—not Hitler—caused atrocities.

Oh my god.

academic ironies:

The candidate for Director of the UMass Amherst Institute for #Holocaust, #Genocide, and Memory Studies gave her job talk on art and representation of the Holocaust today, but it was very hard to hear her because the Palestine activists were screaming "Intifada! Intifada!" (etc. etc.) 6 floors below

They're great at yelling.
Spelling?
Not so much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Palestine-Israel / Israel abandons diaspora Jews' fight against real antisemitism to join forces with Europes’s antisemitic and islamophobic far right

Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry (Amichai Chikli) is inviting representatives from parties with histories of #antisemitism and current Islamophobic positions to a conference specifically about combating antisemitism, titled The International Conference on Combating Antisemitism, further undermining the credibility of frameworks like the #IHRA definition.

Shared Islamophobia is becoming a unifying factor between Israel's government and European far-right movements, previously rejected by Jewish communities as antisemitic or Neo-Nazi.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Jordan #Bardella leads France's anti-Muslim National Rally, founded by #holocaust denier Jean-Marie Le Pen's; Hermann Tertsch comes from Spain's #Vox party, known for inflammatory anti-immigration rhetoric; Charlie Weimers represents #Sweden Democrats with its neo-Nazi origins; Marion Maréchal, Le Pen's granddaughter, has aligned with extreme right movements; and Kinga Gál represents Hungary's #Fidesz party, criticized for antisemitic dog whistles in campaigns against George Soros while promoting strong anti-Muslim policies.

Today in Labor History March 13, 1943: The Nazis liquidated the Jewish ghetto in Krakow.

I have a question from the world.

You knew about Hitler, you knew about nazis, you knew about church funding nazis. And you knew what they did.

How can you let it happen again in such a short time?

Mar 12, 1912: On this date, Polish Jewish resistance activist Ala Gertner was born. While a slave laborer at a munitions factory, she smuggled gunpowder to prisoners at Auschwitz to build grenades, who destroyed Crematorium IV & killed several SS officers. She was one of four women (the others being Róża Robota, Ester Wajcblum, & Regina Safirsztajn) hanged Jan 5 (or 6), 1945 for their role in the Sonderkommando Uprising.

Ein toller Abend!

Ganz großes Danke an Anna #Hájková, die uns gestern ihr Buch „Menschen ohne Geschichte sind Staub. Queeres Verlangen im Holocaust“ vorstellte, aber auch an Ronja vom St. Pauli-Archiv und @FraukeSt, die die Fragen stellten, und natürlich an die etwa 40 interessierten Menschen, die im #Kölibri waren.

Nice. Now will IBM, who helped him with surveillance technology, be held accountable also or will they get off scot-free like they did after helping Hitler carry out the Holocaust?

(Spoiler alert: it’ll likely be the latter.)

"The Meidas Touch reports:

Trump posted an article to his Truth Social account this weekend featuring a deeply troubling image: a pink triangle—the Nazi-era symbol used to identify and persecute gay men in concentration camps—covered with a red prohibited sign."

Fuck everyone who gaslit my wife and I when we began leaving, punished us for doing so, and continued to punish/ gaslight us. This is JUST like last time. Do not wave away our fears! Be an ACTUAL #ally !
