Seattle Library, Washington. Escalators are just so much fun, I can't help myself! A couple of the other shots featuring the escalator, an alure similar to gas pumps! I always look for an interesting SC, but no more this tricky - at least for a bit!

View of the entrance to the main camp of Auschwitz (Auschwitz I). The gate bears the motto “Arbeit Macht Frei” (Work makes one free).
Auschwitz began as a concentration camp in 1940 for Polish political prisoners. Then the Nazis began to deport to the camp people from all the countries they conquered, mainly Jews, but also Soviet prisoners of war, gypsies, Czechs, Slavs and others. The site was selected because of the convenient rail lines with spurs coming directly into the camp.

Bhagat Singh (28/09/1907, Banga, Punjab, British India – 23/03/1931, Lahore, Punjab, British India) was an Indian revolutionary, political thinker and socialist, and one of the most iconic figures of the anti-colonial struggle against British rule in India. He was born into a Sikh family deeply involved in the independence movement. His father Kishan Singh and his uncle Ajit Singh were active nationalists who had already faced imprisonment and exile for their political activities. From childhood, Bhagat Singh grew up surrounded by discussions about freedom, resistance and sacrifice, absorbing the idea that liberation was a moral duty. As a boy he was profoundly shaken by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, when British troops opened fire on unarmed civilians in Amritsar, killing hundreds. This event marked him for life and strengthened his resolve to fight colonial oppression. He studied in Lahore, first at the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic School and later at the National College, founded by Lala Lajpat Rai, where he immersed himself in revolutionary literature, Marxist thought, anarchism and anti-imperialist philosophy. He became convinced that political independence without social justice would be meaningless, and that true freedom required the overthrow of both colonial rule and systems of exploitation. In his youth he joined and helped organize revolutionary groups, including the Naujawan Bharat Sabha and later the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, aiming to mobilize young people for radical change. In 1928, after Lala Lajpat Rai died from injuries inflicted by British police during a protest against the Simon Commission, Bhagat Singh and his comrades decided to avenge the killing. Together with Rajguru and Sukhdev, he took part in the assassination of British officer J.P. Saunders, whom they believed responsible for the assault on Rai. In 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw low-intensity bombs inside the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi. The bombs were deliberately non-lethal; their purpose was symbolic: to protest repressive colonial laws and to use the courtroom as a platform to speak directly to the people. They courted arrest and used the trial to expose the violence and hypocrisy of British rule. While in prison, Bhagat Singh led a prolonged hunger strike demanding equal rights and humane treatment for political prisoners, further increasing his popularity among the Indian masses. He openly identified as a socialist and wrote extensively on revolution, atheism, and the need for mass political consciousness. The British colonial government charged him with the murder of Saunders and sentenced him to death. On 23 March 1931, at the age of 23, Bhagat Singh was hanged in Lahore together with Rajguru and Sukhdev. His execution was widely seen as a political act intended to crush revolutionary momentum. Instead, it turned Bhagat Singh into a legend. He became a symbol of fearless resistance, intellectual courage and uncompromising struggle for freedom. To this day, he is remembered as Shaheed-e-Azam, the Great Martyr, and as a global icon of anti-imperialist resistance.

To all my fellow flickrets, I am truly and honestly sorry. I am so embarrassed by how painfully behind I have gotten on my 365. I never intended on this ever happening. But in the last week I have experienced technical issues with camera, computer, and memory cards, etc and also experienced time issues and had to deal with some life milestones. Really though I could whip out a million excuses. None of them good at all.
All and all though I have no intentions of quitting! If you don't mind I plan to continue towards creating 365 images, though it will take me more than a year. And I promise to be on time and not fall behind for a very long time.
I will have to take a five day absence in a couple weeks because I am going on vacation to London and will not have internet for a couple of days.
To catch up
The girl i love most in the world surprised me with a visit from washington over the weekend, we went to the lake and saw UP :]
My baby sister graduated from high school and is growing up so fast!
My lil brother turned 15 and I took him for his first driving lesson
etc etc etc
So again I am so so so so sorry for being behind, Im making a fresh start tonight and I plan to expand my creativity to the best of my capabilities.
OH! Thanks Caitlin for inspiring me. and Congrats!

ISODOR ISAKSEN AND THE NORWEGIAN HOLOCAUST
Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany on 9th April 1945, and governed for the next five years by the occupants in cooperation with Nazi-friendly Norwegians.
Our Jewish population at this point was some 2100 people, including 3-400 recent refugees from central Europe.
Norwegian Jews had their radios confiscated the following month (May 1940), more than a year earlier than the rest of the population. Increasing harrassment was to follow. In the spring of 1942, all Jews were systematically registered by the authorities: They were required to fill in a form, stating i.a. their origins and family members, and had a 2cm tall red "J" stamped on their identity papers.
In 1941 and early 1942, almost all Jewish-owned shops in mid- and northern Norway were "confiscated" for the benefit of the Nazi-governed state, including Isodor Isaksen's gentlemen's outfits shop (bearing his own name) in central Trondheim. Soon, the same policy was carried out nationwide, and widened to include private homes and other belongings.
Isodor Isaksen was born in Trondheim on 2nd November 1896. He had ten siblings, a wife, and four children. He was a successful business man and an active member of the Jewish community.
After his arrest in July 1942, Isodor Isaksen was held in different prison camps in Norway, among them SS Strafgefangenenlager Falstad north of Trondheim. In October 1942, all Jewish men aged 15 and over were interned. Soon, women and children were also rounded up, and held in a limited number of private houses. In the early hours of the 26th November 1942, all Jews located in Norway were collected in a coordinated police operation involving hired taxis. 529 Jewish men, women and children were on board the Donau when it left Oslo harbour a few hours later, and a further 158, mostly residents of mid Norway, were deported on the Gotenland on 25th February 1943.
Shipped out on the Monte Rosa on the same day as the Donau, Isidor Isaksen endured forced labour in Auschwitz up to his death on 9th April 1943.
Some 1300 Jews managed to flee Norway during WWII, thus escaping deportation and extermination. Of those who didn't flee, a few were murdered in camps in Norway, such as the Falstad camp.
The vast majority, however, some 770 people, were deported to the Auschwitz death camp between 1942 and 1943. Most of them (women, children, the elderly) were murdered on arrival, but 264 men deemed of working age and capacity were initially kept alive and used for heavy labour. Only 38 survived.

27th January is the date on which those who had survived Auschwitz-Birkenau were freed by Soviet troups in 1945. It is now the international Holocaust Memorial Day. The Nazi genocide sought to exterminate not only Jews, but also Roma and homosexuals.
Ποτέ ξανά!

The concentration camp Auschwitz was liberated by Russian troops on the 27th of January, 1945.
The photo shows a detail of the so-called Denkmal Güterbahnhof (freight station memorial) in Darmstadt, Germany.
The memorial was dedicated in 2004, in memory of the Jews and Sinti who were deported to the extermination camps from Darmstadt. In July 2006, the memorial was damaged by a violent attack by four male youths between 16 and 19 years of age, three sides of the glass cube were severely damaged. The memorial itself survived. The names of the people who were deported are engraved on the glass splinters (crystal night/night of the broken glass).

#patternsofthecity #texturesoflive
This architecture, with its networks of tubes and the lookit has of being an expo or world's fair building, with its (calculated?) fragility deterringany traditional mentality or monumentality, overtly proclaims that our time will neveragain be that of duration, that our only temporality is that of the accelerated cycle and ofrecycling, that of the circuit and of the transit of fluids. Our only culture in the end is thatof hydrocarbons, that of refining, cracking, breaking cultural molecules and of theirrecombination into synthesized products.
Jean Baudrillard /
"Simulacra et simulation"
The building is preserved as it was during the World War II time. Such buildings were occupied by about 300-400 families (1500 Jewish citizens) each. The Warsaw Ghetto was populated by around 300000 Jewish people. .
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto
Over 100 000 of the Ghetto residents died due to rampant disease or starvation, as well as random killings. In July 1942 the Nazis began massive deportations of the inhabitants from the Umschlagplatz to the Treblinka extermination camp during the Grossaktion Warschau, part of the countrywide Operation Reinhard. Between Tisha B'Av (July 23) and Yom Kippur (September 21) of 1942, about 254,000 Ghetto residents (or at least 300,000 by different accounts) were sent to Treblinka and murdered there.

The nazi concentration camp near Munich
Just as it is
and
just as it was
Abraham Lincoln says to sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men
This camp is so close to the city
smoke can be seen rising
from the crematoria chimneys
The British know
The locals know
And yet the world waits
For the next
Holocaust
and so
it comes

This photo was taken in London's Parliament Square on Monday 20 February 2017 during a protest against the proposed state visit of American president Donald Trump to Britiain.
Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of the square as British MPs debated president Trump's visit in the House of Commons. They were rallying to demand that the government repudiate his shameful racist, sexist and imperialist policies and revoke his state invitation as a guest of the Queen. Many also expressed the wish that the British government itself should do far more to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers .
1.8 million people have already signed an online petition asking the government to rescind the offer of a state visit. Labour MP Paul Flynn condemned it as “terribly wrong” and the speaker of the British parliament John Bercow had already stated his view that if he was allowed to address parliament we would be effectively endorsing his extremely divisive views on women and Muslims.
In contrast Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan was defiant arguing that Britain should "use all the tools at its disposal to build common ground" with America's extreme right wing president who, if invited on a state visit, would only be the third US president to be so honoured since 1952.
Former Foreign Secretary, William Hague, couldn't understand the fuss. The queen was, he argued in the Daily Telegraph, used to meeting some of the world's bloodiest tyrants, "such as presidents Mobutu of Zaire and Caeucescu of Romania" and seemed to imply there was no need to improve our ethical standards now.
By 6 pm approximately five thousand angry protesters had gathered and the police had to close part of the square to traffic.
Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". However for the most part people quietly listened to the speakers who included Owen Jones, Green MP Caroline Lucas, Labour MP Naz Shah, the SNP's Carol Monaghan and Shadow home secretary Diane Abbot who told the crowd that Trump
"was supported in his presidential campaign by white supremacists. Even in the first weeks of his presidency, he had had a visceral anti-immigrant line.We hear that he has been invited for state visit. Whatever you think, a state visit is meant to be an honour. I would say that Donald Trump has done nothing to be honoured for."
Owen Jones called for continued solidarity with immigrants and refugees and was optimistic tolerance would win out over bigotry
"The racists and the fascists have been defeated before," he told the crowd, "and we will defeat them again".

Hopefully, this will not be rejected as the original photos have all been taken before today but the "very hard" montage work has been done this evening ~ please let me off with this good ODC admin ladies ;-)
Goodness, and I've got to catch up on everyone photos tomorrow!!
