We remember #Holocaust #survivor Manfred (Fred) Kort who recalled an SS colonel saying as they arrived at #Treblinka: “We want you to know this is Treblinka. And if you don’t know what Treblinka is, then smell it.” Mr. Kort died #OTD 2003 #NeverForget

The Lodz ghetto Jewish council created an official photography section of eleven photographers, including Henryk Ross. Though they had specific duties, the photographers clandestinely took photos to document Nazi atrocities. Explore some of the images here:ushmm.org/search/results… twitter.com/good/status/11…

"His images of Vilnius remind us that the city’s Jews were real people, and not merely numbers in a ghastly table of casualties. Moshe’s photographs gave [them] a form of immortality, a kind of permanence so very different from the erasure they experienced in the real world." twitter.com/tabletmag/stat…

#OTD 1945 the Shanghai ghetto was liberated. “I have postcards that she got from Poland. Her brothers were writing, you know, ‘to our dear sister. How are you? Everything here is fine.’ And then from then, she didn’t hear from them. They were all killed.”
