    24 December 1940 | The SS set up a Christmas tree with electric lights at the roll-call square of #Auschwitz. Underneath they placed bodies of prisoners who had died at work or frozen to death at the roll-call. Lagerführer referred to the corpses as “a present” for the living.https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1077081576561876992 …

    The five Christmases at the German Nazi #Auschwitz camp were full of tragic events. Nevertheless, despite the risk of punishments, prisoners observed Christmas⁠⁠ Eve. People who experienced the hell of Auschwitz will always remember those events. http://auschwitz.org/en/museum/news/christmas-eve-in-auschwitz-as-recalled-by-polish-prisoners,47.html … pic.twitter.com/IAgeatauYV

        One of the biggest challenge for us today, when we study this history, is to understand that the perpetrators were not monsters. They were regular people - sometimes very educated - who accepted the ideology of hatred and were able to do monstrous things on its behalf.

        Arendt was talking about perpetrators as “thoughtless” bureaucrats who acted not our of ideological conviction but some personal ambition. And yet we know today that it was not such "banality" but far more dangerous inner identification with evil.

        Exactly! Opinions of her merit vary, but I think that we must give her some credit for putting this matter in the spotlight. Still, she stumbled over the question if one can do evil without being evil.

        By liking this tweet with my ❤️, I am marking my promise to never forget the savagery that will happen when we stop treating all humans as people. Empathy and compassion is the antidote to this barbaric behavior.

        We should also remember Saint Maximilian Kolbe who gave the greatest gift by offering his life in place of a dad who the Nazis picked for extermination. The Nazis asked Maximilian "why should we pick you over this one" to which he responded "I'm a (underground) Catholic Priest"

        There are people toying with nazism now that need to be regarded as working toward something as insidious as this. Good people on both sides? Not a chance. #NeverAgainIsNow

        By that time Catholic Poles were still the absolute majority of prisoners in Auschwitz. Please correct me in case that this wasn’t the case. Thank you
