Hannah and her family were deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. In her words: “All people are created in the image of God. We are all the same. Regardless of color or religion, we should try to live in peace together. It is very hard, I know, but we should try harder to get along.” Today marks 76 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, a camp built to kill people as efficiently as possible. Nearly one million of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis and their allies died here. Jews were not the only target. Any group deemed a threat, or even an inconvenience, was eliminated. Many Polish and Soviet citizens, prisoners of war, resistance fighters, Roma and Sinti, Jehovah's Witnesses, the physically and mentally disabled, and homosexuals all lost their lives during the 12 years of Nazi rule. As a German, I have never been able to grasp how my nation could mobilize this much hate in the service of mass murder. German Jews were a vital, thoroughly assimilated part of its society for centuries. They felt safe. They felt German. Today I am reminded just how important it is to value and work to preserve democratic society and its core principles. This means maintaining vigilance against the rise of hateful, bigoted rhetoric, supporting a vigorous, truth-seeking free press, and seeking out open-minded dialogue with people who have opposing views. The survivors in this series, having endured the most appalling campaign of hatred in modern times, stand in for all the wronged and aggrieved people of the world. And, in their spirit of generosity and warmth, they offer an inspiring testament to the best of what we can be. @martinschoeller photographed at @yadvashem.」1月27日 22時33分
