Erich Salomon, we remember you.

Herr Salomon, your photographs made history. My father had a volume of your photographs in his library, it was part of my childhood and it made me engage with the magic of photography. I thank you for your work.

But none of this matters now. I thank you for your humanity. And I tell you, we will not forget your murderers.

Edits: corrected one mis-spelling of Erich Salomon's name, and once addressing him as "Herr" Salomon, as i would if we met.

@aral It's not that. A lot of #Germans have come away from learning about the #Shoah with a very simple recipe: To get rid of feelings of historical guilt / responsibility, we have to unconditionally support "the Jews" now. #Israel says it represents "the Jews", ergo we unconditionally support Israel, Bob's your uncle, guilt gone. The ideas that not all Jews are aligned with Israel, that Israel is a state like any other and should follow the same laws, don't fit that world view.

A holocaust memorial, a restaurant, and a few synagogues are somehow legitimate protest targets? Yeah, right. We get it.

"Authorities in #Paris have launched an investigation after several #Jewish sites across the capital were defaced with green paint.

The #vandalism, discovered early Saturday morning, targeted the #Shoah Memorial, two #synagogues and a Jewish restaurant in the city's historic Marais district, as well as a third synagogue in the 20th arrondissement (district)."

Marie Elmes was born in Cork on 5 May 1908. She was an Irish aid worker credited with saving the lives of at least 200 Jewish children at various times during the Holocaust, by hiding them in the boot of her car. She was posthumously recognised by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
