W Is For Tungsten

My name is Emily. I am nineteen years old. Wish I lived in Seattle. I stand for equality. I enjoy baby animals, funny stuff, food, football (soccer), beauty, nerdy things, books, Firefly, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Life is pretty spectacular.

If she’s “too young” for her to be wearing “shorts that short”, she’s also too young for you to be sexualizing her body for wearing them.

“The Nazis didn’t just kill the Jews; they made use of every inch of them. Women’s hair was shaved off and weaved into blankets for Nazi soldiers. Fat from Jews’ bodies was used to make soap. Gold teeth were pulled out to make gold bars for the Reichsbank. 384,000 pairs of men’s shoes were sent to Germany from Auschwitz. 646,000 men’s suits. 184,000 pairs of eyeglasses. The most frightening thing is not the gas chambers or the crematoria. It’s the rooms piled to the ceiling with children’s shoes. That gives you have an idea what the Holocaust was. Shoes. Once worn by real people.” - via jewishhistory.org

[fuckyeajews-deactivated20150121]

In the Holocaust Museum in DC, they have a room just for the shoes and hair of the victims. It’s really startling to see it so up close since it makes you realize the sheer scale of this. The pile of hair in the museum weighs several tons, and bear in mind that this several ton pile of hair is only but a small fraction of all of the horrible things found in the camps.

[kuklarusskaya-deactivated202003]

Somewhere in those shoes were the shoes of my great aunts and their children. 

Same with eyeglasses.

It’s something I can never, ever forget.

[durnesque-esque]

The above are photos I took at Auschwitz. The shoes and suitcases were each encased in a hallway - kept behind glass on both sides. And again comprise only a fraction of what the Nazis took.

Now the significance of these collections can not be understated or undermined, the horrors of the Holocaust, the Shoah, are embodied in these piles of stolen clothing and cases.

We look at them and recoil, promising that we’ll never forget and yet the systematic slaughter of human beings continues around the world.

In different places, for different reasons. Who didn’t learn the lesson? Who still needs to be reached? Who needs to be protected?

Do not forget. Remember and react. Radical evil is not a memory of the past, it is a present and continuous force.

Reblogging in honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day: 70 year anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. 

[shittyurlhere-deactivated201507]

I have visited the Holocaust Museum in DC and let me tell you. It is a harrowing experince that cuts you to the quick and leaves you breathless. The absolute enormity of everything you see and feel and smell. The shoes still smell like leather and feet, the train cart in the middle of the museum once used to move people into camps still smells like wood and it’s so small standing inside of it and imagining yourself hurdling towards a camp is enough to give you chills.

They also play videos of the liberation of the camps, showing what the soldiers saw when they finally arrived. The museum has hospital beds where they used to do experiments on the mentally ill, most especially those with Autism. 

The impact is astounding, and it’s seared in my mind as if it happened yesterday, tho it was almost a decade ago now. 

It’s a emotional experience, but if you have the chace to go, go. It’s something we must never ever forget happened. Jewish people, Romani, trans people, the mentally ill, LGBTQA+, Catholics, those of improper coloring, so many people were killed. And we must prevent something like this from happening again. We must learn tolerance and acceptance, to love one another and to protect each other.

2015 will be the year Liberal Tumblr learns to hate me because I am going to take every opportunity to call out its hypocrisy. And don’t take that as support far rightwingers, I just know you are all a part of the problem.
