sovay said about the banning of Maus in Tennessee. "Some people's children must be protected from knowledge that others are never permitted to live without, but then, some people's children are really people."
Also, Let's talk about Maus, Tennessee, and failing a test.... 9 minute video by Beau of the Fifth Column. "Children will want to know how an entire country went off the rails like that."
My parents got me "children's" books about the Holocaust, well, books about children's experiences of the Holocaust, and we went to Holocaust memorials in every country we visited starting when I was 5 years old, and of course my mother talked about her Onkle Kurt who-died-in-the-Holocaust, and my aunt on the other side talked about growing up without extended family because they were all killed in the Holocaust.
I bought Maus as an adult, and it is staying on my bookshelf.
I remember. Not just in a "that happened back then" way, but in a "watching it happening now" way that's full of dread.
minoanmiss posted a brief, powerful poem "You won't be forgiven anything".
Relatedly, because many disabled people were killed in the Holocaust, You Are Not Entitled To Our Deaths: COVID, Abled Supremacy & Interdependence by Mia Mingus. Viasheafrotherdon.
