The Book of Names lists each person murdered at Auschwitz

#and you have to remember how many names are most likely missing#from rushed trains and burned lists#from rushed transports and people who died on the death marchs#what about the names from people who died after their liberation#and then…#this is only Auschwitz#this was the biggest camp yes#but just one of many#and then remember sobibor and belsec#and try not to feel sick

This is why we punch Nazis. This is why this vile ideology must be stamped out viciously every time it tries to come out of its hole.

Never. Again.

And these are just their names, places of birth, and places of death. Doesn’t even contain the lives and loves and joys and fears and everything else each person’s universe was that they cut down.

When I was in university, every Holocaust remembrance day the local Hillel would offer sign ups for people who wanted to come read the names aloud in the middle of campus for ten minutes, keeping the reading going for 24 hours. I went and did a reading once, but I know people who read for hours when they didn’t get enough sign-ups.

Antisemitism is higher in the US this year than it has been in a long time. Please, never again.
