This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming to us today.
Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred and evil. This ideology became part of their everyday lives and environment.
They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They were farmers, doctors, bakers, bankers, architects, or carpenters. They had their family joys and problems, favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us.
But they also perpetrated horrible, monstrous acts on behalf of the ideology they believed in.
Dehumanizing all the „others” was a tool that helped them achieve their goal. The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history.
We should not and cannot dehumanize them, as their story and choices are the human warning. For us all.

Legendary Canadian actress Catherine O'Hara, known for her iconic roles in Home Alone, Schitt's Creek and a variety of other movies and television shows, has died at the age of 71.
Here are the names of the 158 Canadian Armed Forces members who lost their lives in Afghanistan following the invocation of Article 5 of the NATO Charter by the United States after the September 11 attacks.
Dear Americans, please stop referring to your country as America. The uneducated really think that America is their country. You don"t own America. It"s NOT your country. It"s a continent! So when you write that Canada doesn"t want to be part of "AMERICA", look at the map.
The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that gives them exclusive and full military access to Greenland. But they are not using it. They have downgraded their presence by 99%.
Now, apparently, they are telling their base that they need to invade and annex Greenland because they need to have a large military presence.
Canada supports Denmark’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Greenland. Minister Anand will be in Nuuk in the coming weeks to officially open Canada's consulate, further strengthening our engagement with a strong Arctic ally.
President Trump says the U.S. “needs” #Greenland for its national security. But, fact is, not one but two treaties already give the U.S. what he’s now demanding.
The members of our Canadian Armed Forces stand on guard to defend our nation’s sovereignty. As many spend the holiday season away from home, we extend our deepest gratitude for their continued courage, service, and sacrifice.
🚨BREAKING: CBS just pulled their anticipated story on Trump’s CECOT concentration camps.
The same company who suspiciously cancelled Steve Colbert when they needed Trump to approve the Paramount deal.
When the press bends to tyrants, countries die.
I would like us to remember the Lord’s words: “Truly, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40). It is truly so! If we concretely love those who are hungry and thirsty, those without clothing, those who are sick, strangers, or prisoners, then we are loving the Lord.

From 1932–33, the Soviet regime orchestrated the #Holodomor genocide, a famine that killed millions of innocent Ukrainians.
Today, as Russia wages its illegal war against Ukraine, innocent Ukrainians are again being killed.
Canada remembers.
