Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the Babyn Yar tragedy.
On September 29-30, 1941, in just two days, the Nazis shot over 30,000 Jews in Kyiv. Entire families—men, children, women, even those pregnant—were forced to walk down the "Road of Death" to the ravine. The scale of this evil is still hard to perceive.
In total, approximately 100,000 people were killed at Babyn Yar during the Nazi occupation. Nearly the entire Jewish community of Kyiv was murdered, along with those who tried to save them. Other nationalities also fell victims.
Babyn Yar is a terrifying symbol, showing that the most heinous crimes occur when the world chooses to ignore, remain silent, stay indifferent, and lacks the determination to stand up against evil.
When the eyes of the world are closed, humanity loses.
Babyn Yar is vivid proof of the atrocities that regimes are capable of when led by leaders who rely on intimidation and violence. At any time, they are no different. But the world's response should be different. This is the lesson the world should have learned. We must guard humanity, life, and justice.
We must defend ourselves against evil.
Eternal memory to all the victims of the Nazis. Eternal condemnation to everyone guilty of the murders at Babyn Yar.
Nu är Lärarnas forskningskonferens 2023 igång. Vem behöver didaktiska modeller? Retorisk fråga från Karim Hamza från @Stockholms_univ#FoU#stockholmslärare
Igår mördades ordf för en synagoga i Detroit. En synagoga i Berlin har attackerats med molotov cocktails. Antisemitiska hatbrott i London har ökat med 1343%. Ett judiskt par i Paris har fått sin dörr uppbränd. Vi är förkrossade och framförallt väldigt oroade över utvecklingen.
Antalet publikationer i lågt rankade tidskrifter ökar på högskolan.
Högskolan har ett finansieringssystem som premierar kvantitet och effektivitet i forskningen, men inte kvalitet.
Kan det finnas ett samband? 🤔
