"The Nazis didn’t just kill the Jews; they made use of every inch of them. Women’s hair was shaved off and weaved into blankets for Nazi soldiers. Fat from Jews’ bodies was used to make soap. Gold teeth were pulled out to make gold bars for the Reichsbank. 384,000 pairs of men’s shoes were sent to Germany from Auschwitz. 646,000 men’s suits. 184,000 pairs of eyeglasses. The most frightening thing is not the gas chambers or the crematoria. It’s the rooms piled to the ceiling with children’s shoes. That gives you have an idea what the Holocaust was. Shoes. Once worn by real people.” - via jewishhistory.org

It’s something I can never, ever forget.

Do not forget. Remember and react. Radical evil is not a memory of the past, it is a present and continuous force.

It’s a emotional experience, but if you have the chace to go, go. It’s something we must never ever forget happened. Jewish people, Romani, trans people, the mentally ill, LGBTQA+, Catholics, those of improper coloring, so many people were killed. And we must prevent something like this from happening again. We must learn tolerance and acceptance, to love one another and to protect each other.
