REMEMBERING THE HOLOCAUST'S FORGOTTEN VICTIMS
In Friday 27 of January 2017, International Holocaust Memorial Day was celebrated.
Although they defended people who died in death camps (mainly Jews, but also Roma, political prisoners and others), they also remembered people who were killed in the Nazi project “Aktion T4”, where disabled and ill people, even they were German, were gassed.
Anna Lehnkering, 24 year-old girl, and Ernst Putzki, were two victims of this project, and they their families talked in the name of their dignity.
Lots of people declare this act as the trigger of the big Holocaust that followed it and they have the same opportunity to be remembered like anyone else who were killed in those hell.
I found this publication really interesting because my school class and I went to German last year, and it was an educational trip. So we went to, approximately, three death camps and we also visit Hartheim Castle, which was the place where Nazis killed lots of people like Anna Lehnkering and Ernst Putzki, with disabled and ill people were murdered.
They talked us about the project “Aktion T4” and, even though I was really shocked about all the people who died in death camps, it impacted me to see that Nazis killed people of the same nationality.
Finally, I would like to say that it is a very good approach to celebrate this International Day in order to avoid this people to be buried. It has to remain for years and we don’t have to let dignity’s people die with their unfairly killed bodies.
