[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

The infamous Hitler salute was one of the key visual symbols of Nazism.

This salute, ingrained in history as a representation of oppression, dehumanization, violence, and unimaginable suffering and murder, is far more than a physical gesture; it’s a reminder of a dark era of humanity, defined by antisemitism and other ideologies of hatred.

It is an emblem of the Holocaust and other horrifying crimes perpetrated by Nazi Germany, along with such symbols as a swastika, a Totenkopf (death's head) or runes that shape the name of the SS.

Sensitivity to these historical contexts is essential, as such gestures and symbols, even used unintended, resonate and evoke distress, particularly for those who bear the scars of that tragic history.

In the picture: Inauguration of the SS hospital at Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

I've thought about this for a while now, but I'm probably going to take my data and leave here. It's not worth it anymore. (It was barely worth it for a long time now.) I have mixed feelings about this because how do you preserve social media interactions...but eh.

Unfortunately, my politics are rooted in a deep love for humanity and the exhausting belief that a better world is possible

@dannybirchall yes, and it's so hard to capture that.

@dannybirchall literally had a similar conversation with undergrads this past semester encouraging them to think about the "social" in social media preservation. i don't begrudge anyone leaving, ofc, but "my archive" is incomplete.
