Have found THE absolute worst #HMD post out there (via JTwitter).
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is bad enough...but the first edition (😬) Main Kampf that just happened to be in the house...
...and then this apology. Fucking hell

Attention has already gone back elsewhere, but please bear this in mind reflecting on yesterday, and thinking ahead to next year...
...some of us have to live with this daily

Yesterday the Leader @shansview.bsky.social and Mayor of Hounslow Council attended an event in honour of Holocaust Memorial Day at Chiswick School.
More than 250 pupils heard from Gloria Silver whose father endured horrendous atrocities during the Holocaust. #hmd #hmd25 #hmd2025
Never Forget.
Never Let It Happen Again.

Something to take further the remembering from today #HMD25. Alongside brilliantly told histories, Eichler propels the reader towards “deep listening” to music as the emotional content to memory. (It’s a cracking read too!)

We must make sure it never happens again.

On #HMD: We focus our attention on the genocide + organised atrocities, but we must remember not just the people, but a large part of a vibrant, complex + diverse culture that was lost (+ kept changing in the diaspora)
V good programme on Yiddish www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Tonight Parliament is lit up in purple, joining iconic buildings and landmarks across the UK in a moment of reflection for Holocaust Memorial Day.

Family crypt in Zentralfriedhof Vienna. The names are there but the people are not.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day and I’m remembering twelve family members who didn’t make it out of Austria.

Despite being Jewish, Julius considered himself safe. Not only had he starred in the Nation team but had served in the first war & won an Iron Cross. In his fifties he was transported to Auschwitz & probably gassed on arrival. Then & now we can see who the Nazis are- don't let them win. #HMD25

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we remember the victims of the Holocaust and all genocides.
We must never forget, and continue to work to prevent such horrors from happening again #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD25
On today of all days, 27 January, remember that the Nazis were from an educated and cultured nation.
They were voted into power, and silenced all dissent.
As we know now, it did not end well for millions of people.
Not long ago, not far away.

Katie, my maternal grandmother, saw Kristallnacht unfold - a feisty lefty, she tried to hang out a red flag but her sister stopped her! In '38 the Nazis would allow some Jews to leave if another country would take them, she got sponsored as a maid to get to England.

Martha Levy was a maternal cousin. She fled to England as a lone teenager. Her sister Friedel Krieger lived in Amsterdam as an aupair. Friedel was rounded up and her place of death is unknown. Their mother Sophie Krieger lived in Nuremberg and was deported to Treblinka.

My paternal grandfather’s (Jacob Auerbach) brother Max was born in Poland, married Charlotte & they had a son Frank. In 1939 they sent Frank on a boat to England. He never saw his parents again. They were murdered at Auschwitz in 1943. Frank, an internationally known artist, died this year #HMD25
Bertha and Herman Joachimsthal, my great grandparents, were born in Germany, rounded up in Berlin and deported to Theresienstadt on 17 June 1943. Herman died there. Bertha was then deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered #HMD25
Isaak Wertheim, my great grandfather was rounded up into the Kassel ghetto in Germany by the Nazis and was deported to Theresienstadt on 7 Sept 1942 and then deported to Minsk where he was murdered
#HMD25
A thread. Dedicated to family members who were victims of the Holocaust & subsequent genocides - & those who tried to save them #HMD25
Some people apparently think about the Roman Empire every day. I think of the Holocaust. And how family who died or survived had already experienced pogroms + exclusion
So of course I wanted to work on #asylum and #HumanRights.
None of this is or was inevitable (2/2)

Israel’s existence is necessary to ensure safety and survival of Jews now and forever. #HMD25 #HolocaustMemorialDay2025

Entertainment industry Trending Holocaust Memorial Day trending with auschwitz #hmd2025
Elon Musk's twitter / x has turned into this today. #HMD25 is not just entertainment. It's is not an "industry". Given his behaviour recently he's probably OK with this coverage.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. 80 yrs since the liberation of Auschwitz. Tonight at 8pm put a candle in your window to remember the victims of the Holocaust, other victims of Nazi persecution & subsequent genocides. And most importantly as a commitment to challenge hatred & prejudice today. #HMD25
