Today 80 years ago, the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz was liberated. You can follow the official account of the memorial and museum there at:
The account shares the stories of the people (including children) who were murdered by Hitler's Nazis on an industrial scale. Over one million people were slaughtered in Auschwitz alone.
The living were tortured, or subjected to horrific pseudoscientific medical experiments.
If feels important to point this out...
80 years. Who do you know who is (or was) 80 years old?
Yeah, that's only 1 lifetime ago! 1 human life ago! ONE!
It is very much NOT time to "move on".

Indeed. There are survivors still alive and warning against the current rise of the far right:
"Auschwitz survivor Leon Weintraub spoke of the need to be vigilant..."
“"If they succeed in gaining power, we must avoid the mistake of the 1930s, when the world failed to take seriously the Nazi regime and their plans to create a state free of Jews, Roma and people of different opinions, or sick, or those deemed unfit to live."”
