"Marie Nejar, the last known surviving Afro-German eyewitness to the horrors of Nazi Germany and a revered voice in Afro-German history, has passed away peacefully in Hamburg at the age of 95."

After Margot Friefländer, we lost another witness to the horrors of the Nazis this month. A great loss. RIP Marie and Margot. We won't forget. The fight against fascism and extremism goes on.

May 10, 1926: On this date, Alfreda Markowska was born near Stanisławów, Second Polish Republic. She was ethnically Polska Roma. In 1941 the Germans murdered all the members of her family (65 to 85 people), including her parents and siblings. She survived but was later arrested by the SS. She escaped not only the SS, but also imprisonment in the ghettos of Lublin, Lodz, and Belze. (1/2)

May 1st 1941, when #Hitler's highest generals came to celebrate two years of the Moscow/Berlin alliance in which #Nazi Germany and #Stalin's Russia jointly waged war all over #Europe.

In this partnership, from 1939-1941, #Russia invaded Poland, Finland and the Baltics, also annexing parts of Romania.

These inconvenient facts are the core reason why Moscow puts so much #propaganda into convincing the world that #WW2 was from 1941-1945.
