Sadly, there seems to be a rise in Far Right idealogies, or did it ever go away? Today includes genocides from around the world: Rwanda, Former Yugoslavia, Cambodia, Darfur and Nazi atrocties of WW2. IMO it should include the Irish Potato Famine and the persecution of the American Native people. I'm sure there are others , the human race just seems to be intent on destroying itself.
Just been in tears at work listening to a Holocaust Survivor, Renee Salt. Her account of Mengele casually choosing who will live and who will die is horrific and incomprehensible. https://www.hmd.org.uk/take-part-in-holocaust-memorial-day/ukhmd/
Am working but hope to take part, even if just to stop and remember for a while. Mrs T and mini will be lighting a candle at home.
Yes heard that... shocking.. Aged 15.. Her father stepped off the train before her and she never saw him again Mengele was the scum of humanity.. Escaped justice, lived in Brazil until the late 70s..
Mum was first responder to a lady living in the apartment opposite , a very gentle and helpful a person as you'd want to meet . Faye survived Auschwitz as a child and went on to live a full and exciting life but getting into her 80s struggled with mobility and occasional flashbacks to her time in the camp - mum would occasionally pop in to find her cowering under the bed . I never realised her mental issues were getting worse until I witnessed it first hand when mum was out and I heard muffled screaming from next door so let myself in and Faye didn't recognise me (although I'd met her many times) , thinking I was a guard which made things worse . I tried talking to her but she just started sobbing so knowing I was making things worse I waited in the hallway until my mum came home - the most heart breaking 20 minutes of my life .

Un-fun fact: years ago when I lived in That Germany, if I took the scenic route to work, I used to drive past the concentration camp in Dachau every morning. Visited a few times: all neat and tidy, like a museum. I don't think you could possibly imagine what it was like, although a visit to the old shooting range up the road in Hebertshausen gave you some idea. Anyone who wasn't up to scratch was taken up there and...dealt with.
I think you'll find "the Left" has a deep-seated streak of anti-Semitism that's never gone away. See recent fate of the Labour party for details.
I think you'll find that was found to be anti Israeli government (a form of apartheid), nothing against people for being Jewish. I don't want to go into it more on this thread.
