Holocaust Memorial Day

A terrible episode but has the world really learned? Atrocities continue in many parts of the globe.

No they haven’t learned

Knowing how psychopathic and evil people in power are there will be someone somewhere wanting to top what the Nazis did

In a way doing nothing about global warming could be considered a vast attempted crime against humanity

And hardly anyone takes them to task over it which if you are an evil psychopath is doubly enjoyable

It was ordinary blokes herding Jews on to cattle wagons.

I visited auschwitz and it doesn't help to preserve the memory at all. Full of dickheads draped in Israel flags chanting and bouncing like footy fans and American girls pouting for photos infront of the firing squad wall. Stick to documentarys to learn the true horrors of the place

Was nothing at all like that when I went.

Yep. Pisses me off a bit when the term ‘Nazi Germany’ is used. It was Germany. Germans voted the Nazis in, Germans took part in the Holocaust.

Something most Germans tend to remind themselves of fairly regularly — all of us would do well to do the same and remember that it didn’t generally happen overnight.

And why that is especially relevant now.

I know it is something I contemplate frequently these days.

Indeed. The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC has an excellent and in-depth exhibition on the rise of the Nazis. When you see it, it's quite stark how much is mirrored by stuff happening today.

I agree, the Holocaust Museum in DC does that exceptionally well throughout. It, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, are in my opinion mandatory visits if you are in Washington.

Channel 4 right now, seeing clips in colour makes everything 100x more real and sadder as strange as that sounds.
