Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. We remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, all victims of Nazi persecution and all victims of subsequent genocides. #HMD2021#HolocaustMemorialDay#LightTheDarkness
#OnThisDay in 1945, Soviet soldiers liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp.
Approximately 1.1 million people were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and over 90% of them were Jewish.
We now mark this day as #HolocaustMemorialDay. #OTD
Ok #medtwitter, now that we’re in an uproar about professionalism, bring that same energy to address that BIPOC med students/residents have been shouting for years that “professionalism” has been used to police their hair, clothes, and their ability to speak up about racism.
So, Tuesday has passed, and we're still Black, so to everyone who wanted to play ally yesterday, I hope you keep the same energy for yourselves, your peers, your employers, and your families, because our oppression isn't a trend. This is a day-to-day reality. Understand that.
