Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Formed by Melora Creager in 1991, Rasputina is an American alternative/historical music ensemble and noted as the first cello-only rock group. As well as the Holocaust, Rasputina's songs have also mentioned other historical events such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and the "Little Ice Age".
Monday January 27th 2025 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. The day is also the 80th anniversary of liberation of the camp complex of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Here’s a thing that made me happy. I reckon there isn’t a model company doing a better job than CSM at making you feel like you did when you bought a new kit aged about 12. Their ‘offer’ (yeah I hate the expression too) is marvellous and exciting…beautiful presentation and ‘freebies’ galore…

Hunter lived through the Nixon administration, and both Bushes.
He did drugs most of us never even heard of before.
But I don't think even Hunter imagined an America as weird as Trump 2.0.
I surely do miss him, though. We could use his voice today.

I’m always having massive internal arguments about accuracy, prettiness, art, modulation, colours, realism, style etc in scale modelling…& am reaching the conclusion that none of this matters…extracting enjoyment & satisfaction is far more important than all this much too much argued about shite…🙄😊

What's the single most perfect sound a human can hear? I think it has to be the wind rustling through the trees when there is no other noise around.
