Today is the anniversary of an evil event, and I post this short diary to keep people’s memories alive.
On this day, an act of evil occurred, in 1942.
Gestapo head Reinhard Heydrich led a meeting of Nazis at a villa in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee draft the plans for the “Final Solution” to the existence of European Jewry.
The plans called for a shift from the promotion of Jewish emigration to a policy of deportation and resettlement in conquered territory to the east, where Jews would be imprisoned in deadly labor camps.
Never again.
We all must remain ever vigilante and call out all forms of bigotry and prejudice when we see it.
