's most important and one of most viewed 2018 tweets.
Terrifyingly true, mass atrocities start with verbal discrimination & a crippled democracy that condones hatred.
We cannot idly stand by.
When we look at Auschwitz we see the end of the process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.

On July 10, 1941, a group of Polish inhabitants of the town of Jedwabne murdered their Jewish neighbors.
Dozens of similar pogroms took place in Eastern Europe - with the German SS involved or not - in the summer of 1941.
We must never forget.
