The date 27 January has become the International Holocaust Remembrance Day in recognition of the murder of six million Jews during World War II and the organized mass murder. On this day in 1945 the biggest death camp, Auschwitz has been deliberated by the Red Army and the world learnt what has been going on those camps.
Since the end of the war, the slogan “Nie Wieder!” has become an important key word and is now more important than ever.
Racism, Anti-Semitism, Ableism, Anti-Feminism are on the rise.
Worse, the yellow star, the symbol used to stigmatize people of Jewish faith during the Shoa is being misused by people in Germany (and possibly elsewhere) who reject the current regulations in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic. These people refuse to get vaccinated, these people claim that this pandemic does not exist and that this just a huge brain washing initiative by big corporations and global governments to make people compliant.
Of course this is absolute balderdash.
Worse, in doing so, these people vilify the victims of the Holocaust. It is a slap in the face of six million people who were murdered during the Holocaust and their families and the survivors of this man made hell.
It is therefore ever more important, 80 years after the conference at Wannsee, that those who deny the existence of the Holocaust and who misuse the Star of David for their own ends experience a strong opposition to make it absolutely clear that these comparisons are wrong and unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
