Dear international feminists, shortly after claiming to be „queer victims“ of NS crimes on #HolocaustMemorialDay, German males with identities claim to be victims of „cultural genocide“. 
This is because women oppose the presence of their holy penis in every hole of this planet. Sorry to have to say it so drastically.
And of course because we don‘t bow to their misogynistic distortion of reality.
DIESEN Männern haben Sie den roten Teppich ausgerollt, @MarcoBuschmann @lisapaus. Männer, für die 24/7 ihr ausschweifendes Sexualleben als „Lesbe“ im Mittelpunkt steht und die einen „Genozid“ behaupten, wenn sie mit der Realität konfrontiert werden.

Я взял на себя труд перевести наиболее значимые речи немецкого парламента за последний год. Большинство людей не понимают, как #Германия может быть настолько глупой в отношении своих собственных национальных интересов. Но еще остались голоса за мир

Look at the photo carefully. The face of a Polish girl dressed in the camp’s striped uniform is symbolic of Nazi policy towards children whose lives were considered unnecessary.

The German Generalplan Ost was created on the basis of the assumption that a “living space” (“Lebensraum”) in the territories of Central and Eastern Europe was necessary for Nazi Germany’s development.
…
…
In practice, this meant the displacement of the native Polish population from those areas where German and (secondly) Ukrainian settlers had been introduced. In line with Heinrich Himmler’s intentions, the first resettlement took place in the Zamość region.

During WW2, an entire village stood up to the Nazis.

Instead of fear and hatred, they chose kindness — and saved thousands of lives.

This is the village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in Southern France.
It’s a picture perfect village on the rolling hills of the French countryside.
During WW2, when the villagers saw what the Nazis were doing, they knew they had to take a stand.

The village’s pastor, Andre Trocme, was a pacifist who had long preached against hate and discrimination.
Starting in 1940, he had already started secretly sending relief supplies to Jews held in concentration camps.
But Trocme wanted to do more.

As a disabled Jew, I am angry this #HolocaustMemorialDay. Angry that eugenics is alive and well, that antisemitism is alive and well.

Heute endet für uns eine lange Recherche. Ab heute, zum #HolocaustMemorialDay, erzählen wir Euch von der kaum zu fassenden Geschichte von Stanislaw Szmajzner, kurz: #Shlomo. Ein Thread. (…)
Shlomo ist für mich ein beeindruckender Widerstandsheld & ein bislang noch nicht ausreichend gewürdigter Zeitzeuge, der Unglaubliches geleistet hat. (…)
Viele kennen #Ausschwitz, aber viele Menschen haben noch wenig oder kaum von #Sobibor gehört. Dort, in Ostpolen, an der Grenze zur Ukraine, wurden 1942 & ’43 bis zu 250.000 Juden ermordet - in gerade einmal etwa 17 Monaten. (…)

🧵 The most haunting, awful description of the Holocaust in Ukraine from Vasily Grossman’s Life and Fate for #HolocaustMemorialDay .
Grossman’s hero, Viktor, receives a letter of parting from his mother, who is about to die.
Grossman’s hero, Viktor, receives a letter of parting from his mother, who is about to die.
Grossman’s own mother was killed by the Nazis in the town of Berdychiv, in Zhytomyr. He was tormented at the idea that he could or should have saved her.
At ten year intervals, until his death in 1964, Grossman wrote unsent letters to his mother, confessing his grief and describing his life and the past. They’re available in archives and they’re utterly tragic.

Today on #HolocaustMemorialDay, the world remembers the millions of Jews & other minorities murdered in Holocaust.
Moldova is committed to protecting survivors, recording and teaching their stories to preserve memory and prevent similar horrors.

But as commemorations are held at the site of Auschwitz-Birkenau to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nazi death camp's liberation, I can’t help thinking that it lies only 300km from Ukraine, where Russian aggression is creating unthinkable death and destruction.
As the international community pays tribute to the victims of eight decades ago, we must redouble our efforts to stop and prevent new atrocities in Europe.
On #HolocaustMemorialDay we reflect on the darkest time of European history, remembering the murdered six million Jews and all those persecuted by the Nazis, including Roma and Sinti people, disabled people, lesbians and gay men, trans people and political opponents to the Nazis.
We remember that when Adolf Hitler was named chancellor in 1933 he enacted policies to rid Germany of "Lebensunwertes Leben", "lives unworthy of living". What began as a sterilisation programme ultimately led to the extermination of millions, and the persecution of millions more.
We remember that it started with book burnings. The Institut für Sexualwissenschaft had provided LGBT people with education & healthcare, researched sexuality & gender, and promoted feminism & equality since 1919. Its library was burned in the street by the Hitler Youth in 1933.
Today is the international holocaust remembrance day. Exactly today 78 years ago my grandmother (Sarah) and grandfather (Albert) were freed from Auschwitz, where they lost their parents, aunts, uncles, 3 sisters and an infant child, my uncle Wolf. All murdered by the Nazis /1
When my father was born 5 years later, my grandparents named him Heinrich Wolf so that his murdered brother would be commemorated in his own name. My father died in 2016 & when my son Noam was born we decided to continue this tradition & give him the second name Wolf as well. /2
I think remembering the holocaust is important for all mankind, it needs to be a lesson for all of us about fascism, cruelty, de-humanisation and what it means to be human. I always use this day to tell my students about my family during the holocaust. Hoping it has an effect /3

The #Holocaust, as a topic, has been part of the national curriculum in England & Wales since its creation in 1991. The 2014 iteration of the national curriculum has the Holocaust as a firm part of key stage 3 history – compulsory for all 11 to 14-year-olds in state schools.
However, research into what school pupils in England know about the #Holocaust shows that - like swathes of the adult population who are subject to highly partisan & divisive newspapers - they lack knowledge about its context.

Genocides do not begin with mass murder. That's where they end up.
Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.
Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.
