What an incredibly harrowing book this is. “The Devil’s Workshop” by the Holocaust survivor Adolf Burger, a Slovakian printer who was arrested by the Nazis and spent time in Auschwitz Birkenau before being recruited into the German “Operation Bernhard” counterfeiting operation.
This is heartbreaking, but the bravery of some prisoners who realised they had nothing to lose is utterly astonishing…

Their eyes were fixed on the woman, who was taking off her blouse and stood there in her bra. Then she took off her shee and with a swift blow, hit Suackernack full on the forehead with the heel. He instinctively covered his face with both hands, she dived on him and took his pistol - there was one shoe - Schillinger cried out and sank to the floor. A second shot aimed at Quackernack missed, even though he was only a few feet away. There was chaos in the changing room. The young woman with the gun vanished into the crowd but she might turn up anywhere and start shooting again; the SS men fled in panic. At first no one saw to the wounded Schillinger. As a few SS men tried to drag him towards the door a third shot rang out and one of them was hit. Then the lights went out and panic increased. The prisoners from the special Kommando pushed their way to the door to get out at the first opportunity. Nevertheless there was time to talk to some of the new arrivals, which was how they found out that the SS had tricked these people, who had paid enormous amounts of gold or jewellery in order to emigrate to Paraguay via Switzerland.

Today in Labor History October 7, 1944: Uprising at Birkenau extermination camp (associated with Auschwitz). Jewish Sonderkommando, mostly from Greece and Hungary, attacked the SS with stones and hammers, killing three of them, and set crematorium IV on fire and threw their Oberkapo into a furnace. Sonderkommando were Jewish prisoners who were forced by the Nazis, on threat of their own deaths, to dispose of gas chamber victims). After escaping, the rebels reached Rajsko, where they hid in the granary, but the SS pursued and killed them by setting the granary on fire. By the time the rebellion at crematorium IV had been suppressed, 212 members of the Sonderkommando were still alive and 451 had been killed.

Things that start with the letter G... well in German those were tracks, but to stay on subject, in English it could be a guard tower, genocide, grey, grief...

A black and white photo shows two people, a woman and a man, walking away from the camera on a set of train tracks. They are holding hands. The woman is wearing a light-colored beanie and pants, and a dark coat. The man is wearing a dark coat and hat. The ground is covered in patches of snow and dead grass. In the background, there is a wooden watchtower and a barbed-wire fence. The sky is overcast and hazy.

Today's Flickr photo is a most sombre one. It was taken at Birkenau. It shows the remains of Gas Chamber / Crematorium 3. The Nazis dynamited the facilities before they retreated, hoping to erase their purpose and function.

The senseless end of the road for many.
The symbolic end of the railroad tracks in the Nazi concentration/extermination camp in Birkenau. When one says Auschwitz, this is the camp they're most likely referring to.

A high-angle, black and white outdoor shot of a snow-covered railway track leading into the distance, and ending in the foreground. The track dominates the foreground and extends towards the horizon, where it appears to converge. The ground on either side of the tracks is also covered in snow, with some patches of what appears to be frozen ground or ice visible. Barbed wire fences line both sides of the tracks, stretching into the background. Wooden guard towers are visible behind the fences on the left side. In the far distance on the right, several small, indistinct figures of people can be seen. The sky is a uniform, light grey, an overcast day.

Coincidence or not, it's the architectural similarity that strikes me #facism #musk #tesla #nazi #auschwitz #birkenau #neveragain #neveragainisnow #noai

Two buildings, the one in the upper half of the image showing the entrance of the concentration camp Auschwitz Birkenau from the german Nazi regime era. The lower showing the entrance of a Tesla store in America. Both feature a tower-like part of the building with an archway underneath that have a strange architectural similarity.

Written on the image is the popular claim "Never Again".

#GazaGenocide / That Herzog?

#Ynet is reporting that Israeli President Herzog’s and his wife will lead the 37th annual "March of the Living," which will take place between #Auschwitz and #Birkenau this Thursday.

Israel's Herzog participation in the Holocaust memorial is clearly deeply hypocritical given his actions and statements. His rhetoric attributing collective blame for #Hamas’s actions to all Palestinians—a statement cited by the International Court of Justice—stands in contrast to the solemnity of commemorating the systematic extermination of Jews during the #Holocaust.

[...] What statesmanship is there in the signing of a lethal munition which, in the eyes of the world, represents Israel’s greatest sin in this war – sowing devastation in Gaza and killing innocents. --- Netta Ahituv wrote Haaretz.

The widely publicized image of Herzog signing a bomb shell intended for use in Gaza, an act condemned as indicative of genocidal intent, underscores a disturbing disconnect between remembering past atrocities while contributing to the suffering of civilians in #Gaza, where over 50,000 people, predominantly women and children, have been murdered so far by the #IDF.

1945 : la libération des camps nazis
Le 27 janvier 1945, l'Armée de l’URSS libéra le camp nazi d’Auschwitz-Birkenau (Pologne). En dehors des victimes des opérations militaires, le régime nazi avait assassiné plus de 10 millions de personnes, soit dans les « camps de concentration » esclavagistes, soit dans les « centres d’extermina

Au delà de Birkenau : 
La ligne d'horizon des photographies s’arrête aux barbelés et au mirador central de Birkenau, donnant impression d'un lieu isolé du monde. Il n’en est pourtant rien. Le camp, comme une grande partie du complexe d’Auschwitz, se trouve a proximité immédiate de lieux ou une vie normale se déroule. l'assassinat de masse se tient a quelques centaines de mètres d'une gare très fréquentée, ou des dizaines de trains passent chaque jour. Dans les usines de la ville d’Auschwitz, des milliers d'employés civils allemands, et parfois d'autres pays, sont des témoins directs de ce qui se déroule. Les prisonniers du camp sont présents au quotidien dans les usines, tandis que la fumée de la crémation des corps règnent sur les environs, tout comme l'odeur qui s'en dégage.

«Si les morts sont invisibles, les rescapés sont inaudibles. Il y aura toujours des gens pour faire d’un revenant le coauteur de son malheur. […] La mort. Y penser toujours, en parler jamais.»

=> 14 millions de civils tués par Nazis/Union soviétique Staline sur les 'Terres de Sang' (cf 2022).

-> environ 8 000 gardes SS sont passés par camp de concentration d’extermination nazi : environ 7 000 ont survécu ...

 Ces chaussures exposées à Auschwitz-Birkenau ont appartenu à des personnes déportées. Certaines d’entre elles ont été gazées à leur arrivée ; les autres, envoyées au camp de concentration.

Am Mittwoch, 12. März um 19 Uhr findet im #Staatsarchiv #Ludwigsburg der #Vortrag "Ich habe den Todesmarsch überlebt - Erinnerungen eines Holocaust-Überlebenden" von Pavel Taussig statt.

💡 Als Pavel Taussig im Mai 1945 aus den katastrophalen Zuständen im #Konzentrationslager Gunskirchen befreit wurde, war er erst elf Jahre alt. Er überlebte das #Vernichtungslager #Birkenau, #Hunger, #Krankheiten und mehrere Todesmärsche. Lange fiel es ihm schwer, über diese Erfahrung zu sprechen.

Taussig gehört zu den wenigen noch lebenden NS-Opfern, die als #Zeitzeugen des NS-Terrors ihre Erfahrungen an die heutige Generation weitergeben. Auf Einladung des Fördervereins Zentrale Stelle ist er nun im Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg zu Gast.
