Holocaust history

We learn the history of the Holocaust not just to remember the victims, but to prevent it from happening again. “Never again” is a call to ceaseless, eternal action. It is a call to recognize the trajectory of genocide •before• we reach the worst, to recognize that we are still in those precious years before, and to recognize that a Final Solution is coming again, unless •we• stop it.

And the way we stop it is not by making the concentration camp guards sit through a Powerpoint deck on de-escalation.

The piece linked from the top QP has a lot of important information about mass detention as a pattern, and goes into much better detail than my little thread above. It’s extremely alarming, and it deserves careful study:

Remember how, at the top of this post, I suggested that the real answer to sloppy and violent cowboy ICE guys isn’t to give them more training? In 1934, after a year and a half in power, the Nazis decided to put a stop to the abuses that had come to light from the same kind of out-of-control guards taking matters into their own hands.

That was the point at which the SS was given control of the concentration camps. Formal training was instituted. Dachau became the model camp, at the head of a regimented and more structured camp system. While certain kinds of abuse ended, more training did not prevent the much worse atrocities that followed on a larger scale.

You can’t reform a concentration camp regime. You have to dismantle it and replace it. We have a thousand ways to do it. And most U.S. citizens—particularly white ones—have the freedom to act, for now, with far less risk than the many people currently targeted.
