Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and in an incredibly moving piece for @ConversationEDU, Amanda reminds us how short the path from exclusion to murder can be.

On January 27, 1945, Russian Red Army entered the Auschwitz barbed-wire enclosures and discovered 7,000 men, women, and children—alive, but just barely—and evidence of the lives of another million people who had been brought there from Poland and Europe.
Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with ‘us vs. them.’ It started with intolerance and hate speech.
When people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye, it became a slippery slope to genocide.
Education is one of the tools we should use to combat Holocaust denial & distortion.

Countless of people are having to flee because of the climate crisis. The time to act is now. We need to get informed, speak up on climate justice and migrant justice, and support vital organizations like @UNmigration#ClimateMigration
78 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today we all remember. We must remember. | #Auschwitz78
It's #HolocaustMemorialDay, we say never again but forget & become ignorant. Please, stand up to systemic intolerance of minorities and disabled, fight conspiracies targeting ethnicities, open doors to refugees, and always shun ethno-nationalism.
Hello! Thank you for all the support with my legal battle for the IP of my comics back in November! Fighting a case like this would usually be impossible for someone like me. I couldn't do it without this incredible internet community 💕

This is my city Homs (2022). Once the Capital of the Revolution, the newspapers Headlines. But not today. Today it is forgotten...the world moves on, taking your pain from headlines into a footnote.
