The controversial Yasukuni Shrine may draw headlines, but Tokyo’s diverse array of museums and memorials share countless perspectives on WWII’s causes and consequences. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/08/08/travel/tokyo-ww2-museums-yasukuni-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #wwii #wardead #warcrimes #museums

🕯On 2 August 1944, around 4,300 Roma and Sinti were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, ending of the so-called ‘Gypsy family camp’.

This was part of the Roma Holocaust, which took over 500,000 lives.

Today we honour the memory of victims & stand against prejudice of Romani people.

👨🏼‍🏫With the Council of Europe, we're working to bring Roma Holocaust history in school curricula across Europe, so young people can grow up embracing inclusion.

1 year ago #ukraine #fascists wearing #SS helmets invaded into the #Kursk region, killing, torturing and kidnapping many civillians. Fortunately, later the #invasion shamefully collapsed.

It is the 80th anniversary of one of history's greatest #WarCrimes. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1945, the USA dropped an atomic weapon on the city of #Hiroshima. President Truman lied and called it a military base. One key purpose was to intimidate the #USSR.

The story of the blue doll🇺🇦🇺🇸

🎁A gift from an incredible woman—Mrs. Olena.

She remembered me from my last volunteering in #Kyiv.🇺🇦

When she’s not weaving camouflage nets, she crafts handmade dolls for frontline defenders, too.✨

This one found its way to Malden.🇺🇸
I’m thinking of her. And the people of #Ukraine 🇺🇦

Unfortunately I'm not able to attend one of the sit-ins today, like the one in Central Station. So I had to steal this video from a complicit social media site. According to this video the crowd is even more massive than last week on Utrecht CS (todon.nl/@joenepraat/114910041).

"Our Genocide": Israeli human rights groups declare Israel committing genocide in Gaza

B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel have published reports concluding that Israel is committing #genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The organizations document mass killing, destruction of infrastructure, forced displacement, and systematic dismantling of healthcare systems over 21 months of military operations.

According to #haaretz numerous international organizations have reached similar conclusions, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, and several Israeli genocide researchers and Holocaust scholars.

B'Tselem warns the genocide may expand to other areas where Palestinians live under Israeli rule and calls for urgent international action using all available means under international law to halt the violence.

Text from article(edited for length): Whether our mother was there in body or not - we are all second, third, & fourth generation to victims of starvation and extermination. And the one commandment the victims left us, all of us, is simple: never again. ... But in 2025, the Israeli army, on orders from the political echelon, is destroying Gaza & exterminating its population. Neighborhood after neighborhood and city after city in the Strip are destroyed to the foundations, and people are expelled with nothing and pushed to crowd into increasingly smaller areas. Like then. After we destroyed all infrastructure, including hospitals, the mortality is relentless. Families constantly shrink and thousands have already been erased from the face of the earth. Others leave behind hopeless orphans, abandoned to their fate. Like then. Since Israel broke the ceasefire in March, Gaza's besieged population has also been deliberately and systematically starved. Israel allows only very little food to enter the Strip, and what little is allowed in is brought in a way that cannot reach all residents. Children, the sick, the elderly, people weakened by hunger - cannot reach the four food distribution stations Israel created, instead of the 400 stations that operated before. We have decreed their fate to languish until they die of hunger, weakness, and disease. Relatively strong young people who do reach the distribution stations to get some relief are shot to death daily by Israeli soldiers.
