Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
"We need to remember just why
When we see ... discrimination, hatered
No matter how small or seemingly insignificant.
We can't stand by.
We need to stand up.
We need to stand together."
#HolocaustMemorialDay
Today,on Holocaust Memorial Day,
We remember those who stood by
Those who did nothing
Those who shook their heads
We remember those who said this will pass
It won't last.
We remember those who didn't believe.
Those who reasoned it's only words, high spirits, harmless insults
1/3
We remember those who turned away
Who stood by
Who watched the deeds of others but did nothing
We remember the good people, the decent people
All the regular people
Who didn't hate, but who encouraged and supported hatred
The power of their silence
And we remember their shame
2/3
Their utter regretful shame
We must remember
Just why
When we see racism, antisemitism, discrimination, hatred
No matter how small or seemingly insignificant
We can't stand by.
We mustn't stand by.
We need to stand up. We need to stand together.
Together.
3/3

Last night, a spontaneous gathering of people grew into an all night protest by women which resisted all attempts to break it up.
To understand Hyderabad, it is important to know why and how it happened.

1/
Since the time the country came out to #RejectCAA_NPR_NRC the @HydCityPolice has been denying its citizens the right to protest peacefully. Frustrated when permissions weren’t given, the city adapted the Hong Kong model of #FlashProtests.

“Be like water” became the motto. People arrive silently at a destination, protest, and disperse. Even these were broken up by the police. The protestors knew their rights, the police didn't. But when posters are snatched away, you can’t protest.

Which is the largest minority in India? Not the Muslims, not even the Dalits.
Making up close to half the population, it is Women who are the largest minority in the country. And like in any other calamity, it is women who are going to be worst affected by NRC.

Baby girls are grudgingly allowed into the world. Families hope that they will disappear through neglect. Some do, but most survive. But do families have their documents in order? Most unlikely. When many even escape the Census, what hope they will survive NRC?
2/9
The Board Exams is when most of us get our documents regularised. Nearly 40% girls drop out before completing school, and only a third of them are engaged in formal work. Very easy for them to remain under the radar and not have the documents they need.

"Didi, aaj main dead body banne se bach gaya", said the 17 year old youth who lived on the streets of Haji Ali.
Normally, he was the most cheerful person around, who always stopped at my desk to crack a joke when he visited the NGO where I worked. That day, he looked shaken
1/n
Gradually, the story emerged.
The previous night, the police had come to round up youth from the flyover where they slept.
"They wanted 3 Muslaman boys. I was the 4th. I escaped." His voice was flat. They had pretended be asleep. Silently praying they would be saved.
2/n
"But why?", I asked shocked.
To make them terrorists. They will make them run, then shoot them in the back. The public has to be shown they are doing something.
This was Mumbai in 2010. Soon after 26/11.
Innocents were being rounded up.
Some of my innocence died that day.

Today I have formally reported @JewishChron @AleksPhillips1 @marievanderzyl to the Independent Press Standards Regulator @IpsoNews under the Editor’s Code of Practice Clause 1. Accuracy i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information.
@JewishChron @AleksPhillips1 @marievanderzyl @IpsoNews Article 4/12/19 makes assertions of fact about me that are categorically untrue. One passage reads: “…Shahrar Ali, Green candidate for Bethnal Green and Bow, [after he] was revealed to have compared one of Israel’s 2009 offensive on Gaza to the Shoah on Holocaust Memorial Day.”
@JewishChron @AleksPhillips1 @marievanderzyl @IpsoNews This is demonstrably false on any literal interpretation of the words. I neither gave a speech on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2009 nor did I compare Israel’s onslaught upon Gaza to the Shoah or Holocaust.

My Poppy, my best friend, passed almost 7 months ago. I've decided to try tweeting out at least excerpts from his 5,000-word memoir as a survivor of the #Holocaust, & edit as I go. Some of it is pretty garbled. I'll do it in bits, as time permits. Not ez... With me? #PoppysMemoir
Going to number each paragraph.
1) I will never forget. 1938 Lodz, Poland Piotrkowska Str. No. 14 3rd floor. Leaving to attend school, I see a group of elegantly dressed men and women lined up in front of a building. A LINE? I have never seen that!”

Today is Holocaust Rememberance Day in Israel.
While living in Berlin, I’ve experienced the somber emotions that come with visiting a concentration camp. It takes about 30 mins to get to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp located in the quiet neighborhood of Oranienburg. THREAD
At Sachsenhausen, the Nazis would establish the administrative headquarters for all concentration camps in the regime, called the Concentration Camps Inspectorate.
Sachsenhausen was built in 1936; the first concentration camp built under the direction of Heinrich Himmler (pictured below). The atrocities committed here are almost too many to count, and Sachsenhausen was not even among the largest and most deadly of the concentration camps.

[Thread] Based on recent discussions with @SamuelSokol, @TarikCyrilAmar, and @AuschwitzMuseum over the continued debates regarding the "naming" of concentration camps in Poland, I've decided it's time for a thread, b/c this is not about history but the present in Poland.
What has many Poles (and state-run museums) up in arms, is ANY connection of the word "Poland" with Holocaust sites (and more broadly behavior- hence the "correction" above.) They particularly rail against the term "Polish" death or concentration camps. edition.cnn.com/2018/02/01/eur…
The argument is that Poles did not establish or run these camps...which is absolutely correct. But the problem is, no one really thinks Poles built Auschwitz, etc. Sure, there are ignorant people out there or some students, but I defy you to find a scholar making this argument.

Two serving Jewish Labour councillors have spoken out for the first time to expose the “extraordinary” levels of “institutional anti-semitism” in Momentum’s Haringey heartland in north London - thread 👇

thetimes.co.uk/article/jewish…
Joe Goldberg and Natan Doron said they had been repeatedly abused to their faces by pro-#Corbyn #Labour members — including fellow councillors — with crude allusions to their race or insulting references to the #Holocaust 👇
Goldberg the council’s cabinet member for economic development was accused by #Labour councillor of “bagel-barrel politics”

Same councillor said academy schools comparable to “Kristallnacht”, the Nazi pogrom in which 1,400 synagogues were attacked & dozens of Jews murdered 👇
