国連のアントニオ・グテーレス事務総長*2曰く、
75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, we see efforts to diminish the Holocaust & deny or downplay the responsibility of its perpetrators.

The Holocaust began with words - and in the era of the internet & social media, the power of propaganda is more devastating than ever.

75 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi #Auschwitz camp, including ca. 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet army. 1,689 days of murder, humiliation, suffering, and pain were over. Today we all remember. | #Auschwitz75 #OnThisDay pic.twitter.com/af5m1cs83d

The Holocaust didn't begin in the gas chambers. It began with the words of hate. Words matter. #Auschwitz75 pic.twitter.com/q2y5DshaUi
