Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all have a great day 🙂
Vanavond, 18.30 u, rondetafelgesprek over digitalisering, veilig internet, overstap naar EUropese e/o NL techs en socials i.v.m. spanning door VS/Trump/project 2025 ingezet
Alleen VOLT is van X af gegaan naar mastodon en EU socials
Verder is iedereen bang volgers te verliezen ipv leiderschap te tonen maar twittert wel hevig zonder enige aandacht voor de veiligheid van de achterban
Hoe jammer dat laatste 1 1/2 jaar verloren tijd is met waardeloze coalitie die 0,0 bereikt heeft. Niks op landbouw, niks op asiel, niks op natuur milieu water lucht grond, totaal niks op veilig internet
We hebben 2 jaar geluisterd naar leugens en bedrog door extreem rechts
Bert Hubert, internet expert, is er vanavond bij. 👍🏻
Of 't op tv extra of NOS uitgezonden / gestreamd wordt weet ik niet maar de app Debat Direct kun je al downloaden 😉

#otd 1945, the Red Army reached Auschwitz, freeing the remaining prisoners. Nazi-German troops and employees had fled, some the day before, having destroyed all evidence they could, leaving only those too sick or too weak for the Death Marches; the evacuation West. 15,000 prisoners died in the marches. Locals went to the camp to help, taking care of prisoners, others did what they could with food and sheltering escapees along the Marches
I visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in 2016; a very poignant and informative place. I would recommend a visit to anyone wanting to learn more

I would like to add that the Russians were not considered liberators by everyone. Many members of my adoptive family (Germans) lost their male relatives in Russian captivity; they were murdered. Among them was an 18-year-old who had just joined the military. His sister, who was 12 years older, had to flee within her own country (they were not Jews, they were Christians). With two children, one of them a baby, and her mother. Aunts joined them. This mother also lost her husband in Russian captivity; he was a school director in Silesia, then Breslau (Wroclaw). Many women were brutally raped. They suffered until the end. For our family, the Russians were not heroes. This trauma continues throughout the family.
And yes, of course, what happened to the Jews must never be allowed to happen again. That is quite clear.
Catha @CDCHDCLNL i agree with you. They did not liberate military prisoners from german camps, they imprissoned them again.
calwall Thank you for those thoughtful insights. I do, for the reasons you mention above, avoid the term 'liberation' in my work. I think it has too many wider and politicised associations. I will leave the wider unpacking of the word to students of Liberation History, who will know it better than I. Would 'released' perhaps be less politicised than 'freed' as used above? Do let me know your thoughts
