@kreuzberged it’s been along time, but I thought you might like this… stereoscopic photographs from a French family’s holiday to Berlin in 1938. Sadly couldn’t get part 1. There’s 20 or so, and they’re so delicate I haven’t made it past number 6.

We understand the immense emotional sensitivity surrounding the victims of the Auschwitz, and it is crucial to approach the topic with the utmost respect and consideration.

At its core, Auschwitz was a place of unspeakable dehumanization, torture, and murder. 1,3 million people were deported to the camp by Nazi Germany and 1,1 million people - 90 percent of whom were Jews - were murdered there during 4,5 years of its operation. It is essential that we never lose sight of this universal truth.

When discussing the fates of those persecuted in Auschwitz, we employ different terminology to honor the diverse experiences and uncertain circumstances surrounding their deaths.

One term we utilize is "murdered" when we have explicit knowledge that an individual was tragically killed in a gas chamber. This term serves to acknowledge the horrifying reality of those who were chosen for extermination in this manner. We also specify when we know that a prisoner was shot, killed with a phenol injection, hanged or was murdered in different ways.

However, it is important to recognize that our understanding of the specific circumstances of death for many people deported to Auschwitz is limited. In cases where we lack precise information regarding the fate of an individual, we employ the term "did not survive." This phrase serves as a way to convey the uncertainty surrounding the person's destiny, encompassing the possibilities of being selected for extermination, registered as a prisoner within the camp, or later transferred to another camp, where their ultimate fate remains unknown.

Furthermore, when we are aware that someone died as a registered prisoner of Auschwitz, but the circumstances of their death are unknown, we employ the term "perished."

This term recognizes the tragic loss of life within the camp, acknowledging that these individuals died while under the oppressive conditions of Auschwitz. "Perished" emphasizes the human toll and the profound suffering endured by those who lost their lives in the camp, while respecting the absence of precise knowledge about the specifics of their passing.

@kreuzberged It's a stunning building that I'd never come across before, forever placed in the shadow of the pre-war Japanese and Italian embassies, and written over by the eclectic post-wall embassies.

In need of some illumination, destroyed building I believe in the Tiergarten area, perhaps Tiergartenstraße, @kreuzberged can you enlighten?

@kreuzberged Incredible! Thank you so much!

@AGLoxton The factual mistakes & misinterpretations made by Heather Morris in "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" resulted in creating a distorted version of Auschwitz. This is dangerous and disrespectful to history. The story deserves better. #FactCheck review: https://t.co/hioNswY2nT

Book Review: Hitler’s Furies by Wendy Lower. Interesting but disjointed it illuminates an aspect not often talked about, women who played a role in the Shoah. A book that scratches the surface rather than digs deep. Heavy focus on dramatic conclusions. 3/5 https://t.co/0ot6jX37Rb

Education should be at the heart of society. The fact that teachers feel so strongly to protest shows what a dire state the government has dragged the education in the UK to. How can we expect people to learn from the mistakes of the past if there is no one to teach them!

30th January, quite an interesting day in history. Hitler became chancellor on this day in 1933, later on the same date in 1939 he spoke to the Reichstag and called for "the annihilation of the Jews of Europe."
