How old are these survivors?
- I read an interview with a 102 year old, she was 12 when the Nazis rose to power and 25 when she was liberated from Theresienstadt.
And in 80 years we'll be doing it again... "never again" my ass.
- Soon we're going to be ran out of everyone who was alive that served WWII. There are no more Civil War and even WWI veterans to help remember. Once the last WW2 veteran is gone, everyone will forget (if they hadn't already, it's been 80 years or closing on to it). Then we'll be off on people who think they know how it all went and the re-writing of history will commence.
  
  There are no WW1 survivors around, no one has forgotten about that.
  
  We have people alive during this and there are currently multiple genocides going on.
  
  Everything you’ve said is straight up wrong.
- It’s literally happening today.
  
  No one learns from this.
Interesting timing
- An anniversary date is interesting timing?
  
  I think they mean with all of the genocide going on at the moment
- Hey but at least we haven't forgotten about how horrific past genocides are as we support current genocides.
Yeah, and?

This is the 79th time this has happened. Hardly important news by now.
- No birthday cake for you ever again

  That's fine, I stopped celebrating it years ago.
- Oh, the edginess is just bleeding through you, isn't it? Having those rebellious friday up all nighters afterschool before coming online to shitpost on the weekend? What a waste of a life.
- Fuck you and your whole family , you terrible person
  
  Yes I’m terrible because I don't find an almost 80 year old event newsworthy compared to genocide occurring today.
  
  I can only hope you feel that strongly about the Palestians being genocided that your government is throwing under the bus to support Israel for.
  
  Last month was the 86th Anniversary of the Beijing massacre, one part of a genocide against millions of Chinese. You had an anniversary event to commemorate them, right? Or are you a terrible person?
