We all have a mental image of what #Auschwitz was, but is it really objective, and is it free of 'prejudices' acquired from literature, film, or even... the images of the camp itself?

April 13, 1943 | Approximately 2,800 Jewish people from the ghetto in #Salonica arrive in an RSHA transport from occupied #Greece . 1,936 of them are killed in the gas chambers immediately after their arrival, following the “selektion” process.

As of April 14th, the Visual and Performing arts Center in Charlotte will say goodby to the 'Seeing Auschwitz' exhibition.

#SeeingAuschwitz

Today is #InternationalRomaDay . A day to raise awareness of their human rights and also to remember & learn about the fate of ca. 23,000 #Sinti and #Roma who were deported to German Nazi #Auschwitz camp. Around 21,000 were murdered there.

Auschwitz did not begin with the gas chambers. It was the consequence of a society full of hatred that, with small and large gestures, made it possible for one of humanity's greatest genocides to happen in a civilized society.
