Here’s some history behind one of America’s favorite breakfast foods!

Note: There are also different myths/stories of how bagels came to be which are pretty interesting to read too!

Yom HaShoah

today is Yom HaShoah. it's the Jewish Holocaust Remembrance Day. *This is going to be a very long post*

Here's a couple things:

- if we held a minute of silence for every Holocaust victim, we would be silent for 11.5 years. related to this, on Yom HaShoah in Israel, there is a siren that goes off in the middle of the day and the entire country comes to a complete standstill for 2 minutes. cars-stopped-on-the-highway-people-getting-out-to-stand type of standstill. it's truly one of the most powerful things I have ever experience and it's also genuinely scary. here's a video of it:

- we are quite possibly the last generation to live amongst Holocaust survivors. LISTEN TO THEM. TALK TO THEM. SHARE THEIR STORIES. don't ever fucking forget. i don't think people understand that its heartbreaking to listen to Shoah survivors and realize they're going to die soon. it's scary if you think about it too hard. it's frightening because it wasn't so long ago (for example, my mom told me that growing up, a lot of her friends parents had numbers tattooed on them from the camps). it's heartbreaking because people deny the Holocaust and want to forget about it as it is and once there are no more survivors it will be easier than ever to do so. to listen and watch some survivor testimonies, go to namesnotnumbers.org or just search "names not numbers" on youtube

- there was something that I saw on social media a while ago thats extremely relevant. it goes something like this: if you're Jewish, you either VIVIDLY remember the first time you heard/learned/were told about the Holocaust or you simply don't remember the first time." to unpack: the second option is scarier because the unsaid part is that you don't remember because it's so prevalent. you don't remember because its always been talked about with/to/around you. it's normal for you to hear about it. that's extremely scary. and for me personally, when i heard this I tried to see if I can recall the first time and I can't. honestly, it gave me a WHOLE new perspective.

- effectively every jewish activist account on social media is posting something right now about this. here's a couple on instagram: @rootsmetals @jewishlgbtq @whatisjudaism @progressivejudaism @jewishpridealways @standwithus theres more, look for them, read the posts.

Watch this:

it's chilling. its a group of schoolchildren at a Jewish school in 1933 in Munkacs. they are singing the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah [the Hope]. some of the words are different, instead of it saying "to be a free nation in our land" it says "to dwell in the land of our forefathers." the words are different because this was before the establishment of the modern state of Israel. all of these children were later murdered in the Holocaust (this is paraphrased from @jewishlgbtq's caption on instagram).

and now watch this:

Koolulam is a group that aims to bring people together in peace through song. This video is of several thousand people singing the song "Chai" ("Life") 3 years ago in honor of Yom HaShoah. all of the people singing in this video are Holocaust survivors and their descendants. this video is full of life and hope.

it's not enough to say "Never Again" or "Never Forget". speak up, stand up, condemn antisemitism, genocide and all forms of hatred. Antisemitism did not start OR end with the Holocaust. in the US, Jews account for ~2% of the population but antisemitism accounts for ~60% percent of religious hate crimes. antisemitism is on the rise according to ADL statistics and it's not always outright "I hate Jews". i STRONGLY encourage you to visit an activist account on instagram because they all have posts on this.

For many people, this day holds greater weight and sorrow than International Holocaust Remembrance Day back in January. Most Jews have ties to the Holocaust and it impacts them to this day. Also, while Jews were not the only victims of the Holocaust, Yom HaShoah is specifically in commemoration of the 6 million Jews who died.

i'll reblog with some way you can commemorate so it's an easier place.

Never Forget, Never Again

These people make me ashamed to be human. Be better, if this is our version of a advanced society, I can only apprehend what could come next. Please educate yourself and your loved ones, this is inadmissible.

Include jewish people in your activism.

You can never “get over” the knowledge that about two thirds of your people were wiped out in just over five years. Estimates of the European Jewish population pre-Holocaust are between 9,702,930–10,169,332 4,707,056–7,442,390. Estimates of how many were murdered - 4,707,056–7,442,390. The more you study the subject, the more you learn how little the rest of the world did to help. Holocaust denial and antisemitism continues today. The best way you can be an ally is learn from resources like this - how to recognize and respond to antisemitism, and to know when accusations of antisemitism are being used in unethical ways (see: Jewish anti-Zionists being called antisemitic for standing up for Palestinian rights). We need our friends and neighbors to stand up for us. #Repost @antiracismeveryday with @make_repost ・・・ Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day so we’re calling in something we often see on this app. People struggle with acknowledging antisemitism and supporting the Jewish community. There are so many deep-seated (and more surface-level) reasons people don’t face antisemitism with the same energy as other -isms. In this post, we explore a few. As a Jewish person, this has been on my mind a lot lately, but it is finally in a post. For more great thoughts from Jewish voices who address this on here, check out @progressivejews , @jewishpridealways @teachandtransform, and @that.jewish.activist. -Rebecca Alt text available. #holocaustremembranceday #holocaust #shoah #antisemitism #hatespeech #neveragain #jewish #jews #judaism #allyship #genocide #privilege #jewishhistory #bigotry #xenophobia #auschwitz #mirvelnzeyiberlebn #wewilloutlivethem https://www.instagram.com/p/CZPkc-RuGhx/?utm_medium=tumblr
