Today, 27th January, Is Holocaust Memorial Day.

today, 27th january, is holocaust memorial day.

on this day, we remember the killing of 6 million jews in the most devastating moment of our history - the people we know by name, and those whose names have been lost.

i'd like to draw attention to some charities; please consider supporting their work.

85% of jews killed in the holocaust were yiddish speakers. YIVO preserve & teach yiddish. additionally, they host 23 million items in their east european jewry archive - the largest repository of its kind (a number of these materials were rescued from nazi book burnings.)

approximately one-third of israeli holocaust survivors live in poverty. the blue card foundation provide support for these survivors, including food, accessibility renovations, medical/dental treatments & more.

studies have shown that education systems fail to adequately teach younger generations about the holocaust, resulting in worrying statistics (source 1, source 2). the holocaust educational trust are working to improve the quality of holocaust education in the united kingdom.

the united states holocaust museum preserve holocaust evidence & provide educational services. with a $50 donation, you can provide classroom resources for 150 students.

(for more information about holocaust education, visit this website. the AHO consists of almost 400 foundations & individuals striving for the international advancement of holocaust teaching, remembrance and research.)

today, we pledge ourselves to remember.

we pledge ourselves not to forget.

& we say: לעולם לא שוב. never again.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

An artist : Aw man! I saw my arts were reposted on Instagram. I’ve asked them to take my arts down but they ignored me.

Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)

Homocide Humphrey would be their best bet I think.

LOL yeah, good point. What if his name was fucking Humphrey or something? What hashtag would they create to water down geopolitics then? :O

My pronouns are she/he, not him, I could never be him:
