....to always be a reminder to us all of what happens when a Nationalist movement with the military and "purification" happens and how quickly it can happen and why we must never forget.
And why each of us right now needs to protest to each and every situation that will be presenting itself under Trump - the attacks on Muslims, immigrants, LGBT, Minorities, handicapped, women....
We will be busy.....and never back down...
I recommend everyone watch this...reminds you of the importance to speak out. I cried when the deaf woman who was sterilized at 13 because she was deaf cried to her mom that she wanted a baby someday. How she always wanted to babysit and it broke her heart to not have children. To hear her brother when interviewed talked about how the betrayal of how the nazis knew who was deaf was from their teachers and priests. That he watched the pain of his sister that she couldn't have babies. That his mother punched the head of his school when the principal said he had to also be sterilized. That a boy in his class who was always happy and funny came back weeks later after being sterilized and never smiled again. That parents were promised their children would have care and then were sent off - told their kids died of "natural" causes (flu, appendicitis etc)
It's scary....and how it was organized. And then I think right now of the "Dreamers" who trusted by reporting themselves now have their names on a list. And ICE has the list. How many other "lists" are there? Profiles, categories?
Nothing happened overnight in Germany.... And Germans realized when it was too late to speak out.
We can't be silent.
