Am 3. Mai 1945, wenige Tage vor Kriegsende, bombardierte die britische Luftwaffe mehrere Schiffe in der Lübecker Bucht – ohne zu wissen, dass sich an Bord fast 9000 KZ-Häftlinge befanden. Über 7000 Menschen starben. Bis heute ist unklar, ob die Tötung geplant war oder aus einem mörderischen Chaos heraus entstand.

Ends of WarDie Tragödie in der Lübecker Bucht (3. Mai 1945): Cap Arcona und die Verbrechen der KriegsendphaseAls am Nachmittag des 3. Mai 1945, wenige Tage vor Kriegsende, die britische Royal Air Force Schiffe in der Lübecker Bucht bombardierte, wussten die Piloten nicht, dass sich an Bord von drei Schiffen in der Bucht etwa 9000 KZ-Häftlinge befanden. Die Cap Arcona, ein luxuriöses Kreuzfahrtschiff, und der Frachter Thielbeck waren von der SS beschlagnahmt worden, um angesichts des schnellen Vorrückens der britischen Truppen in Norddeutschland Gefangene aus den Konzentrationslagern zu »evakuieren«. Beide Schiffe ankerten in der Bucht und wurden versenkt. Von 7000 Menschen überlebten etwa 400. Die Athen, ein von der SS beschlagnahmter Frachter war in den Hafen zurückbeordert worden und hatte dort die weiße Flagge gehisst: sie entging den Bomben und mit ihr rund zweitausend Deportierte. Ein viertes Schiff, die Deutschland, die gerade erst zu einem Lazarettschiff umgebaut worden war, wurde versenkt, ohne dass es Opfer gab: auf ihr befanden sich keine Häftlinge, die Mannschaft war geflüchtet.

Am Anfang des #Holocaust stand die systematische, bereits damals maschinelle Erfassung. War mir so im Detail nicht bekannt.

» Der Zensus von 1933, der mit Hilfe und Dienstleistungen der IBM über ihre deutsche Tochter durchgeführt wurde, erwies sich als wesentliches Werkzeug, um die jüdische Minderheit zu identifizieren, zu isolieren und schließlich zu vernichten. «

We’ve already entered the history books as at this point the Palestinian case has become a holocaust in the literal & definitive sense , but still there’s no significant government or authoritative bodies that acknowledge it or are trying to actually implement real solutions , we said never again to the jewish holocaust but here we are again, May the eternal fire be upon all the oppresses. #holocaust #genocide #gaza #palestine #freepalestine #isrealiapartheidstate #mastodon

kolektiva.socialoatmeal (@oatmeal@kolektiva.social)Quoting Nili Oshrov on how the legacy of the #Holocaust has been handled and internalized by subsequent generations of Israelis: “With our own hands, we took the memory of the Holocaust and defiled it.” Oshrov accuses her generation (the children and grandchildren of survivors) of appropriating the victimhood of their parents and leveraging it for privilege. They have embraced "the narcissism of the victim," prioritizing their own narrative and rejecting moral judgment. They inherited the conviction that they were constantly victimized, a conviction she argues they use to justify their actions and policies, particularly in relation to Palestinians and Hamas. Israeli society has become overly reliant on Holocaust memory to justify current actions and policies, and in doing so has lost its way morally. […] "But we have fully integrated it [the legacy of the Holocaust] into our identity, in our equation with the Palestinians in general and with Hamas in particular. We placed them in the box of absolute evil and ourselves in the box of the eternal victim, innocent of all blame. We engraved on our foreheads, [the phrase "רשמנו על שמנו בטאבו" is idiomatic] as it were, the narrative of our parents, which was, as they say, justified for them. We exploited the appropriated victimhood of our generation into paranoid delusions, pointless wars, and merciless revenge campaigns that our parents, the 'omelet avengers,' [refers to the earlier image of the parents' acts of daily revenge being as simple as making omelets] could not have even imagined. We crossed over to the impure side and defiled our parents. Think about it during a siren, if you’re not already on another trip abroad.” Hebrew https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-04-23/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000196-6253-d98c-a79e-fe77cf170000 or https://archive.is/FNsPQ Nili Oshrov is an Israeli screenwriter, novelist, poet, copy editor, and satirist. @palestine@a.gup.pe @israel@a.gup.pe #holocaust #neveragain

An explosion rocked the camp. Flames and smoke belched in the distance but not from the chimneys. He strained to see; a crematorium was in flames...
The crack of a bullet split the silence, a brief pause, and then another shot. One, two, three... An execution in progress.
Miriam's lips moved in silent prayer, but he had no faith left.

"Veronika Cohen, 80, a #Holocaust survivor who was born in the ghetto in Budapest, said she had come to protest outside Yad Vashem on the day of remembrance because: “I don’t think we can remember our suffering without acknowledging the suffering of #Gaza, the deaths of tens of thousands of children, the starvation that’s going on this minute, for which we are partially responsible. It occupies the same place in my heart.”"
