Happy Holocaust Day

If you find the title of this post offensive, then so you should. But what else is one supposed to say? The whole thing is as ridiculous as it is revolting.

For one thing, why is it on 27th January, the day that Auschwitz exchanged mass-murdering Nazi tyranny for mass-murdering Soviet tyranny?

Why not 15th April, the day that Belsen really was liberated, and that by the British? In some years, that would even coincide usefully with Easter.

  1. There's no reasonable comparison between the Nazi and Soviet occupations of Poland in terms of deaths.

  2. That was not the question. If there was one.
