Every genocide begins with hate, racism and the other-ing of groups by those in power. Today is a reminder: we must challenge hate at every stage, wherever and whenever we see it. From the seats of power, to our communities. Silence is not an option 🕯️

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Lest we forget. The first step in creating such horrors is to dehumanise groups of people. It justified slavery and it led to the concentration camps. And it could do so again if we let it. www.itv.com/news/2025-01...
