[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works.

Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this."

That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door.

Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply.

Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

A Jewish schoolboy who says his classmates hissed at him to replicate the sound of a gas chamber, as well as threatened to vandalise his house with swastikas, has fought to introduce a new class on 'contemporary antisemitism' in his school to challenge these views.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

19 May 1944 | 9-year-old Anna Maria (Settela) Steinbach was deported together with 244 other Roma from Westerbork to Auschwitz. She was filmed by Rudolf Breslauer. Setella was murdered in Auschwitz together with her mother, two brothers, two sisters, aunt & two nephews.

The Roma people were considered enemies of the Third Reich, condemned to be isolated and ultimately murdered. Some 23,000 Roma & Sinti were incarcerated in Auschwitz. 91 percent of them were murdered in the camp.

📸 Children's shoes.

"There were SS officers on the ramp, some with dogs, and many with staffs and clubs in their hands. While the groups were being arranged, people were beaten and had dogs set at them. At the time I was 11, but my father made me say I was 16. I didn’t understand why I was supposed to lie, but I said I was 16 when asked. I was quite a big boy and could pass for a 16-year-old. In this way I found myself with the group of men. (…) People were scared and terrorised. When we were ordered to undress, when our hair was shaved, and we got dressed in the camp rags from striped material – nobody asked about anything anymore, they were happy just to be alive."
(Hungarian Jewish Survivor Geza Schein)
