Daily OpusEverything I write is freely rebloggable. Just keep the source and tell people about my books :D [Until I decide otherwise, my pronouns are Ze/Hir/Hirself. As in "Ze went to the shops to get hir medication hirself". Thank you for the respect.]
On April 13, 1985, Danuta Danielsson - a Jewish-Polish woman whose mother was taken to a concentration camp in WWII - hit a local neonazi with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden.
Update: The neonazis were subsequently expelled from the city, and a statue was erected in her honor.
This week 34 years ago, Danuta Danielsson demonstrated how much respect fascists deserve.
not all heroes wear capes
I’ve seen the photo many times but never knew her name and I definitely didn’t know there was a statue in her honor!
Bearing Witness- Marking 78 Years to the Events of Kristallnacht “the Night of Broken Glass”.
78 years ago today, the Nazi government led people to attack Jewish-owned businesses, buildings and synagogues throughout the country and in parts of Austria, at a time of intense discrimination of Jews, which included boycotting their businesses.
The attacks were called “Kristallnacht”: the “Night of Broken Glass” because of the shattered windows throughout the cities. Synagogues were burned, 91 Jews were murdered, and 30,000 Jews were arrested and taken to concentration camps simply because they were Jewish.
Let us never forget that the horrible crimes against humanity that occurred in WWII were not sudden, but a product of gradual and increasing persecution.
To those who lost their lives,We remember.
To those who survived, We hear you
To the next generation,We must never forget.
Today, November 9, 2018, is the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht.
Leelah Alcorn’s mom is planning on taking her suicide note off Tumblr, I thought it would be nice to have everything in one. Please reblog this, or screenshot, or reblog it from her Tumblr. I hope your help by showing everyone within a screenshot or reblog shows and reads them Leelah’s message that she has left us to realize.
RIP
LEELAH ALCORN.
Update: Her Tumblr has been taken down.
Save this as a draft and get it circulating again later, when it starts to ‘die down’ and threatens to be forgotten.
I did the above, months ago. I haven’t seen a single post regarding Leelah anymore. She can’t be forgotten. I’m sorry if seeing this on your dash angers you, upsets you, whatever, but this simply can’t (as said) ‘die down’. Rest in peace, Leelah Alcorn. No matter how long I’ll have to keep saving this as a draft and reposting this, I will not let this be forgotten.
So apparently the images have been taken down. Here they are.
To Leelah’s parents- if it upsets you that we have these images, and will not let you erase your DAUGHTER’s existence, it’s not about you. You are the villains of your DAUGHTER’s story. You can either learn to accept the DAUGHTER you had, and thereby redeem yourself, or you can fuck right off.
