[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

@tara_taylor I’m sorry to hear this. I hope educators encourage critical thinking skills going forward both with and without Ai. It sounds like it is needed.

@clhubes Chicken Bones. I moved to Nova Scotia and my coworkers were talking about chicken bones for a solid ten minutes one day. I couldn’t understand why everyone seemed to love eating them.

A few years later I found out “Chicken Bones” is a hard cinnamon/chocolate holiday candy.

@tim_fedak I will ask around. We’ve used some of these soundscapes here. Do you need original or can it be modern recreations?

@Cove17 I definitely have a few enquiries out about those. I’ll let you know when I hear back.

[Amber Laurie @AmberLaurie]

@NS_Museum @BowersWrites @MNH_Naturalists @ns_mma ^ I second this one.

[Amber Laurie @AmberLaurie]

A worthy project in many ways. It is important for families and offers a chance for proper burials.

I can think of a few places that have high potential like bodies of water around air training camps #Debert

The Netherlands is doing similar projects too #BK716
