“We will take the time that’s necessary,” he said. wapo.st/3WIvzl1

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.

watched the first two episodes of The Good Life last night as I fancied something comforting familiar from my childhood, and my god it was not comforting at all, it's a man having a midlife crisis and then dragging his entire social circle into it with him
