One Writer Emphasizes That Holocaust Remembrance Day Should Be Remembered Especially Now In the Wake of Rise in Hatred

 

Olivia B. Waxman just wrote an article prior to Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was yesterday, which was published by Time.         

     

In the article, Waxman suggests that it is more important now, more than ever, to remember the lessons of the Holocaust, with the rise of hate groups. Just weeks after the attack on the Capitol building, where there was an obvious presence of white supremacist groups and white supremacists  more generally, including that idiot who wore a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt, we really should remember the Holocaust and how it came to be with a sense of urgency. After all, in recent years, we have seen hate crimes spike, we have seen immigrant children separated from their parents, and we have seen white supremacists feeling emboldened by the political rise of a figure who they felt served as their champion.     

         

This is an interesting article that should make you think, and I recommend taking a look and reading it.              

Here is the link to the article which got me on this topic:
