Many of these are part of a recent emergence of interest/concern for Jewish and Holocaust history in Ukraine. They are likely particularly vulnerable if the Russians get to/attack Lviv.
This memory work will be massively set back by this war already sadly.
Monument and Jewish tombstones in what was the former Jewish cemetery.
Remains of the magnificent Golden Rose Synagogue, Lviv.
Memorial to the #Holocaust at the site of the Golden Rose Synagogue.
Memorial on the site of the Lviv reform synagogue.
Memorial to Soviet victims during occupation 1939-1941. This will most certainly be destroyed if the Russians get here.
The Kleparow train station near the #Janowska concentration camp that witnessed the deportation of the Jews of Galicia to the gas chambers.
The site of the #Janowska concentration camp where as many as 80,000 Jews were murdered.
Ok, so I should probably add something besides snark.
Why are human loaders better?
1) They are usually faster. 2) They are ALWAYS more reliable. 3) They can help with maintenance/refueling/rearming/etc 4) They are an extra set of eyes scanning for threats
5) They perform the role of air guard watching the sky and the rear sector of the tank. 6) They operate a third machine gun 7) The loader position allows a new soldier to immerse themselves in a crew and really learn the other jobs they will eventually have to do.
