1/ ... " Das #ICTY in Den Haag hat den verstorbenen serbischen Präsidenten Slobodan #Milošević in aller Stille von #Kriegsverbrechen freigesprochen, die während des bosnischen Krieges von 1992 bis 1995 begangen wurden, einschließlich des Massakers von Srebrenica. Image
2/ Weit entfernt davon, sich mit dem verurteilten Führer der bosnischen Serben, Radovan Karadzic, zu verschwören, opponierte demnach Milosevic gegen ihn und „verurteilte ethnisches Säubern“. Er versuchte, den Krieg zu stoppen, der Jugoslawien auflöste.
3/ Diese Wahrheit, die am Ende von 2590 Seiten des Urteils über Karadzic vom vergangenen Februar begraben wurde, zertrümmert einmal mehr die Propaganda, mit der die #NATO ihren illegalen Angriff auf #Serbien 1999 rechtfertigte.(...)

Drank antifreeze from thirst: #Russians starved #Ukrainian prisoners of war to death

The #Russian occupiers kept several captured #Ukrainian soldiers in the basement without food for two months.

As journalist #Sergei_Garmash said on Facebook, one of the prisoners of war who Image
was released was brought to a hospital, not far from the front line.

"I have never seen anything like this. Except in the #Soviet newsreel about the liberation of #Auschwitz. Extreme exhaustion. Just a living skeleton. Ours recaptured the enemy position and found him.
A fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was in captivity for two months in the basement. They didn’t feed him. If it weren’t for one #Russian soldier who, out of pity, shared his rations with him, would die of starvation. He drank antifreeze from thirst.

Heute vor 70 Jahren starb #Stalin. Sein langer Schatten ist noch sichtbar. Ohne den Stalinismus lässt sich #Putin/s Invasion der #Ukraine nicht verstehen. Stalins Machtsystem aus ideologischem Wahnsinn, Paranoia u. russ. Chauvinismus wirkt bis heute nach, ein Thread🧵/1
Im Krieg mit dem Dritten Reich ging Stalin als Sieger hervor, aber unter enormen Verlusten. Insgesamt starben ca. 26 Mio. EinwohnerInnen der Sowjetunion aller Nationalitäten. Stalin erklärte in seiner Siegesrede (24. Mai 1945) das "russische Volk" zur "hervorragentsten Nation"/2
Er legte damit den Grundstein zur russisch-nationalen Deutung des 2. WK, die #Putin schließlich zum Kult machte. Statt Aufarbeitung findet eine Renaissance des Stalinismus statt. Kritik an Stalin kann heute - wie bei #Memorial - als "Rehabilitierung d. Nazismus" bestraft werden/3

5 March 1888 | A German Jew, Eugen Salomon, was born in Wörrstadt. His family moved to Mainz, where he became one of the founders and chairman of today’s football club @1FSVMainz05 at the age of only 17.
He was initially a successful textile manufacturer and later worked as a salesman. Throughout his life, he supported Mainz 05 together with a circle of companions through his work and with financial means.
In 1933, Eugen Salomon was forced to leave Mainz and emigrate to France. In 1942 he was deported from Drancy to Auschwitz, where he was murdered on 14 Nov. of that year. Until today Mainz 05 takes a great interest in Eugen Salomon‘s fate.

Two pictures of the same man - as a pre-war actor and as a prisoner of #Auschwitz from 19 November 1942 (no. 76174).

L'articolo de Linkiesta è molto semplicistico e confusionario. Inoltre, fa delle affermazioni non vere perché non riscontrabili nei documenti ufficiali.

L'articolo seguente lo dimostra:

stalkerzone.org/ukrainians-lib

1)
Bisogna fare alcune precisazioni riguardo l'articolo de @Linkiesta:

• Quali sono le prove che il 90% di tutte le truppe che entrarono ad #Auschwitz fossero #ucraini (provenienti dai territori dell'attuale #Ucraina)?

L'articolo non lo dice.;

2)
• I primi reparti che entrarono nel campo di #Auschwitz furono quelli facenti parte della 60ª Armata del Generale Kurochkin del Fronte Voronezh, ribattezzato "1° Fronte Ucraino" dopo la liberazione dell'Ucraina, del Maresciallo Ivan Stepanovič Konev.

#Auschwitz Zur Gedenkfeier ist Moskau nicht eingeladen: “Given the aggression against a free and independent Ukraine, representatives of the Russian Federation have not been invited to attend this year’s commemoration,” Piotr Sawicki, spokesman for the museum.
#Auschwitz “I hope that will change in the future but we have a long way to go,” he said, according to the PAP news agency. “Russia will need an extremely long time and very deep self-examination after this conflict in order to return to gatherings of the civilized world.”

During the Civil War of 1918-1922, launched by the invasion of 19 foreign armies against the Bolshevik regime, between 50,000 and 200,000 Jews were killed in Ukraine alone, mostly by counter-revolutionary White and Ukrainian nationalist forces.

#NazisInUkraine #NeverAgain
Polish armed forces also participated in the notorious pogrom of Pinsk, in which 35 Jews were murdered.

Poland’s prime minister justified it by saying that it was a “matter of pure Bolshevism. We executed the people responsible for the crime, and they happened to be Jews.”
It helped mobilize fascist regimes and far-right forces across Eastern Europe, including the governments of Romania and Hungary and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), in what the Nazis portrayed as an anti-Bolshevik and anti-Jewish crusade.

Heute ist der Gedenktag der Befreiung von #Auschwitz durch die Rote Armee. #Putin begründet seinen Krieg in der #Ukraine mit dem "Kampf gegen [Neo]#Nationalsozialismus u. #Faschismus" - eine bizarre Verfälschung der Geschichte u. eine Instrumentalisierung der Opfer, ein Thread/1

#OnThisDay: Heute vor 78 Jahren, am 27. Januar 1945, erreichte die Rote Armee Auschwitz-Birkenau. Es war das größte Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager der Nazis, über 1,1 Millionen Menschen wurden hier ermordet. (1/7)
„Was ich dort gesehen und gefilmt habe, war das Schrecklichste, was ich während des Krieges je gesehen und aufgenommen habe“, erinnerte sich der Rotarmist Alexander Woronzow später. (2/7)
Die SS hatte vor der Befreiung durch die Rote Armee fast 60.000 Lagerinsassen auf Todesmärsche getrieben, Akten über ihre Verbrechen zerstört und noch bis zum 25.1. systematische Massaker an den verbliebenen Häftlingen verübt. (3/7)

Non sarei qui se l'#ArmataRossa non avesse liberato #Auschwitz. Erano soldati dell'intera Unione Sovietica, #Ucraina compresa. Lo storico @AngelodOrsi lo sa di certo. Ma ritiene solo la #Russia erede legittima dei "russi" liberatori. Non ci siamo 🧵
La "Grande guerra patriottica" è l'unica narrazione sovietica sopravvissuta. Perché è mito nazionalista e imperialista, oggi ulteriormente centrato sulla Russia. Perché serve a cancellare una precisa colpa di #Stalin. Il patto con Hitler. 1
Tutto quello che è successo prima dell'attacco della Germania all'URSS oggi è censurato in Russia. Ma la sofferenza e l'eroismo sovietici nel respingere l'invasione sono stati così mostruosi perché Stalin non era preparato all'attacco dell'alleato. 2

1. Non ho nessuna simpatia per nessuna armata di nessun colore, ma ne ho ancor meno per il #revisionismostorico ad uso del presente: l'#UnioneSovietica ha pagato un tributo di sangue di 20 milioni di morti per sconfiggere il #nazismo e per liberare #Auschwitz il 27 gennaio 1945.>
2. L'esclusione da parte della #Polonia dei rappresentanti russi dalla commemorazione dell'anniversario della #liberazione è un'ignominia come l'esclusione dei rappresentanti israeliani perché il loro governo occupa illegalmente i territori #palestinesi. Ma la seconda non accade.

#cejourla - 22 janv. 1943 – 24 janv. 1943: rafle de Marseille.
Du 22 au 29 janvier 1943, dans le centre-ville de Marseille est opérée la première rafle des Juifs de Marseille et la plus dévastatrice.
L’organisation de la rafle est négociée par les autorités nazies avec les représentants de l’Etat français.
Elle découle de tractations entre les SS et René Bousquet, le secrétaire général à la Police à Vichy, suite à la décision des Allemands de détruire le quartier du Vieux-Port.

🔴 ¿El mal se puede hacer burocráticamente?

📚 Para entender la pregunta, el libro "El momento Eichmann" detalla el #JuicioPenal (1960) del criminal nazi #AdolfEichmann, uno de los arquitectos de la #SoluciónFinal que dio origen al plan de exterminio del pueblo judío, (1/10) ⤵️
(2/10) que fue descubierto en #Argentina y llevado a #Israel para ser enjuiciado.

🔎 Pero, ¿Quién era Eichmann? Él no era una de esas estrellas del nazismo que había logrado escapar, como #MartinBormann, el segundo de #Hitler, que había escapado de sus perseguidores, o como ⤵️
(3/10) el siniestro Dr. #JosefMengele, que realizaba experimentos médicos en el complejo de #Auschwitz. La fuga de muchos Nazis se dió con ayuda de la #CruzRoja y el #Vaticano.

🔴 Pero, Eichmann no figuró entre los condenados por el #TribunalMilitarInternacionalDeNúremberg. ⤵️

17 January 1945 | SS physician Josef Mengele liquidated his laboratory at the BIIf section of #Auschwitz II-Birkenau. During the evacuation he took with him the entire documentation of his experiments made on prisoners: twins, dwarfs, and people with disabilities. ImageImage
In Auschwitz Mengele carried out anthropometric, serological & morphological studies of the twins. He deliberately infected some children with typhus. The final phase of his experiments included killing of the twins & conducting a comparative analysis or particular organs. Image
Mengele’s other areas of interest were biological abnormalities, such as people with heterochromia iris - a pair of eyes with diverse coloration, the physiology and pathology of dwarfism as well as gangrenous disease of the face known as noma faciei.
