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.

It began to be memory holed before the emergency phase was over. It was a global disaster, and bless everyone who tried to make it less of a disaster. And we will live with the aftereffects for the rest of our lives.
It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

Up here in Canada, the premier of New Brunswick, Blaine Higgs, has been launching an attack on Queer youth, and has been campaigning hard against trans healthcare.
He just got absolutely wrecked. Thrown out of power and defeated in his own riding.

He was the first Black person to study law in British North America.
