#introduction The mission of the #Auschwitz Memorial is to preserve the site and all remains of the German Nazi concentration & extermination camp.

We commemorate the victims & educate about this part of human #history.

Tragedy of Auschwitz shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people in the past. Yet, it is a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective #responsibility for the world we live in.

An Auschwitz survivor Hédi Fried passed away today at the age of 98.

Hédi was born in a Jewish family in the Romanian town of Sighet. In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She was liberated in Bergen-Belsen. In July 1945 she came to #Sweden with the Swedish Red Cross.

Hédi Fried became an author and psychologist dedicated to spreading the message of the importance of democratic values to combat xenophobia, using her own experiences as a #Holocaust #survivor.

First of all we thank you for your response to the presence of the Memorial in the #Fediverse. Thank you for amplifying our voice.

One of the issues raised was using the CW option. We use it with disturbing images, but...

It is challenging, but should all history of #Auschwitz be a CW? Most of our posts remind people, victims of the camp. We show their names, faces, individuality & commemorate them on their birthdays. Marking them with a CW seems somehow wrong.

What do you think?

19 November 1929 | A French Jewish boy, Charles Kaplon, was born in Montreuil.

On 14 August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

We have decided to create an account at Mastodon. We need time to learn how this platform works but also how to synchronize our work here with the Twitter account.

Thank you all for joining us here. No matter where we are, the mission stays the same. We are in social media to commemorate the victims of Auschwitz and educate the world about the tragic story of the camp.
