There's a few threads about Holocaust Memorial Day and the liberation of Auschwitz with some really lovely, respectful and meaningful posts. So lovely to read.
Rather childishly and annoyingly interspersed with political rhetoric and telling us we should be remembering.....other things (I can't think of another way of putting it).
Holocaust Memorial Day is about remembering the Jews that died at the hands of the Nazis. Nothing else.
On Remembrance Sunday we don't tell others they should be remembering victims of the Great Fire of London, or victims of terrible floods. Neither do we launch into discussions about Archduke Franz Ferdinand or the origins of WW2.
On September 11th we remember those who perished in the terrorist attacks in the US - we don't tell people they should also be remembering victims of other atrocities or manipulate the narrative to opinions as to why it happened in the first place.
I wish some posters would show some very basic respect and let those of us who wish to commemorate and remember those in whose honour for whom the day is reserved in a peaceful and reflective manner.
The "hiding in plain sight" posters are getting very predictable.
