THE HUMAN CONDITION IS NO LONGER THE SAME

ELIE WIESEL, Nobel laureate & USHMM founding chairman.

THE HOLOCAUST was a watershed event in human history. In the aftermath of World War II the world -- from indidivdual nations the the UN; from religious leaders to professionals in fields as diverse as law, medicine and sicnece; from presidents and prime ministers to private citizens -- confronted it's legacy.

In light of the MORAL FAILURES that allowed the Holocaust to happen

1. Nations pledged to prevent and punish the crime of genocide

2. Criminal trials established that government officials who commit crimes against humanity could be held accountable by international tribunals.

3. International protection of human rights expanded dramatically.

4. The idea of "informed consent" influenced ethical approaches to medical experimentaiton on human beings

5. Protections for refugees were broadened.

6. The idea of a Jewish homeland gained urgency.

7. The movement toward Semitic/Christian reconciliation advanced.

PREJUDICE AGAINST OR HATRED OF JEWS --

...known as antisemitism -- has plagued the world for more than 2000 years. The Holocaust, the state-sponsored persecution and murder of European Jews by NS Germany and it's collaboraters between 1933 and 1945 is history's most extreme example of antisemitism. Yet even in the aftermath of the Holocaust, antisemitism remains a continuing threat.

In recent years there has been an increase in antisemitimsi, in the form of hate speech; vilence and denial and distoriton of The Holocaust. These incidents occur everywhere, but especially in the Islamic world and in the lands where the Holocaust occurred. In many Middle Eastern countries, antisemitism is promoted in state-controlled media and educational systems, and by militant groups with political power. The President of Iran repeatedly declared the Holocaust a "Myth" and that Israel should be "wiped off the map". In Europe anti-semitism is increasingly evident among extremist political parties of the right and left. And in the US some Jewish students on some college campuses are confronted by antisemitic hostility. Denail and minimization of the Holocaust, along with other forms of hatered against Jews is now widespread on the Internet.

In the aftermath of the moral and societal failures that made the Holocaust possible, confronting antisemitism and all forms of hatred is critical.

This subreddit is dedicated to remembering the victims of genocide.

This subreddit is dedicated to the memory of all Genocides, including (but not limited to) The Holocaust, The Holdomor, The Rwandan Genocide, The Khmer Rouge Genocide and The Armenian Genocide. We also address Qanon -- the "new" extreme right wing group that alleges that a "Cabal of Jewish Pedophile Cannibals" controls the USA. Qanon and other extreme right wing organizations embedded within the GOP present a clear and present danger, together with the ongoing radicalization of US Citizens. This threat is especially grave after the Beer Gut Putsch of January 6 2021.

These are the dead:

•Jews – 5.9 million •Soviet POWs – 2–3 million •Ethnic Poles – 1.8–2 million •Romani – 220,000–1,500,000 •Disabled – 200,000–250,000 •Freemasons – 80,000 •Slovenes – 20,000–25,000 •Homosexuals – 5,000–15,000 •Jehovah’s Witnesses – 2,500–5,000
