#holocaust memorial day

[valcaira]

It is Holocaust remembrance day. Let us all remember those who survived the Shoah and those who did not. Let us also remember the many survivors who are no longer with us today.

May their memory be a blessing.

Never again is now.

Saw a post recently from @jewish-sideblog recently about how people view the scope of the shoah and it kind of solidified something that's been bothering me for a while now. I think one thing that goyim fundamentally don't understand about the shoah is that it had huge effects on Jewish communities in the whole world, not just Europe, and not just during the genocide itself. Like, two of my grandparents were born and grew up in the British mandate. Amin Al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem at the time, literally met up with Hitler to discuss the implementation of the shoah and a possible final solution in the Arab world. He also barred Jews from escaping to the mandate. If the shoah had just gone on a little longer, that part of my family would probably have been murdered

The shoah had gigantic ripples in the Middle East. Without it, the Mirzachi expulsion wouldn’t have been able to happen. And the expulsion still affects Mizrachim today. Most of us have bad family stories, most of us can't even visit the places we spent the diaspora in. The highest number of Jews in Islamic MENA countries is 10,000 in Iran, the place my family is from, where there used to be 100,000. In the Arab states it is so much worse, with the highest being around 1,00, but most countries having less than 50

That’s just one example, but there’s many more. This stuff went so far as to affect Ethiopia, which expelled its ancient community of Jews (or, at the very least, banned them from practicing or teaching Hebrew). Even years after the shoah, it caused so much suffering for Jews everywhere, wether Nazi countries or not. Frankly, it’s kind of baffling to realise that most people think it was a self contained event, when it was literally the climax of thousands upon thousands of years of violent and vitriolic Jew hatred— of course it would ripple. The shoah was an earth shattering event that changed Jews forever, it is something that every Jew, even ones who thankfully had no ancestors murdered because of it, feels so horrible deeply. Everyone, everyone, not just the Nazis, not just the Axis, was a part of it

Today, on International Holocaust Memorial Day, the 79th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and in a time of a huge rise in antisemitic hatred and violence, I honour the lives and memories of the 6 million Jewish souls lost and I stand with the Jewish community, today and every day. Now more than ever, I vow to stand in solidarity and utterly reject the insidious bigotry that is baked into the very foundations of society.

NEVER AGAIN MEANS NEVER AGAIN.

I honour too the lives and memories of those other souls caught up in the monstrous evil of Nazism - the lives and humanity of Rroma and Sinti, of Slavs, of disabled and queer people, of political prisoners and prisoners of war - all those human beings seen as disposable steps in the obsessive pursuit of their ultimate poisonous ideology of Jewish eradication.

We must remain vigilant and fight against hatred and dehumanisation every day.

Today, January 27, 2024, is Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the 6 million jewish people and other minorities who were victims of the Holocaust. This day always brings feelings of sorrow, loss, anger, fear, and resilience to the Jewish community, yet increased antisemitism from 2023-2024 will likely make those feelings even stronger.

If you can do nothing else, please reach out to a jewish friend or family member and show them that you care. A few kind words can go a long way.

If you are able to, consider donating to The Blue Card. They focus on providing aid to Holocaust survivors in Israel, including fulfilling medical needs, accessibility needs, providing food, helping with financial assistance, etc. They have been supported by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The second link also includes a list of resources for Holocaust survivors and their families and ways that people can help them. It is focused on resources in the USA, but there are some resources outside of the USA as well.

I am so, so proud of every Jewish person today just for living. We will not forget the atrocities that we went through and we will not let anyone else forget. Never again will this happen. Am yisrael chai ✡

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jews, and millions more, who lost their lives at the hands of the Nazis.

As antisemitism rears its ugly head once again, and especially as we grapple with the atrocities of the October 7th Hamas massacre, we must speak out and send a clear message against hatred and terror to ensure that Never Again means something.

In the face of darkness, be the light.

Never forget and never forget that the first victims of Auschwitz were young women.

When Nazi Germany occupied much of Poland at the outbreak of World War II, the parents of Erna and Fela Dranger sent their daughters over the border from their home in Tylicz to the eastern Slovakian town of Humenné. Their cousin Dina Dranger went with them. Erna, 20, and Fela and Dina, both 18, found jobs and settled in with the local Humenné Jewish community. At some point, Fela moved on to the Slovakian capital of Bratislava with a friend.

The girls’ parents thought they had sent their daughters to safety. But on March 25, 1942, Erna and Dina were among the nearly 1,000 teenage girls and unmarried young women deported on the first official transport of Jews to Auschwitz.

Told by Slovakian authorities that they would be going away to do government work service for just a few months, the Jewish girls and women were actually sold to the Germans by the the Slovaks for 500 Reich Marks (about $200) apiece as slave labor.

Very few of the 997 girls on that first transport — or any of the other early transports — survived the more than three hellish years until the end of the war. Erna, Fela and Dina Dranger beat the odds, with the sisters going on to raise families in Israel and their cousin Dina settling in France.

The story of what happened to these and the other women on the first transports to Auschwitz is told in “999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz,” a compelling new book by Heather Dune Macadam. (The Nazis had planned to deport 999 Jewish women on the initial transport, but Macadam discovered typos on the list — now held in the Yad Vashem archives — making the actual tally 997.)

That ghastly little stunt that Elon Musk pulled at Auschwitz was nothing more than a cynical PR move.

When I was a child we learned about the Holocaust in a hopeful way. Every year my country holds a minute of silence to remember those who died, and we were taught that the years since WW2 had been the most peaceful in human history, that we would never do this again, that we had to remember so the same mistakes were not made.

I've lost all hope. Not all Jews are zionists, of course, but almost all Israeli zionists are descendants of Holocaust survivors. And if the descendants of Holocaust survivors can do this, everyone can. This time there is not even an easy bad guy, because the people defending Israel are the same people who agree with me on so many other issues: it's not just the extremist right wingers anymore. It's people I admire, people I've looked up to. People currently giving speeches on Holocaust memorial day and alluding to Hamas as a big threat to the Jewish people, without a mention of what's going on beyond that.

I hate that I can no longer mourn for those lost in the Holocaust without complicated feelings.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today we pause and reflect to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and honour the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism.

We also remember rescuers and liberators and honour survivors, who have rebuilt their lives after going through such horrific experiences and who have contributed in so many ways to the countries that opened their doors to them.

Remembering, discussing and learning about the Holocaust is important not only because it helps us gain a better understanding of the past, but because it raises awareness about the danger of prejudice, hatred, radical and extremist movements and totalitarian regimes.
