What did this little girl do wrong to not be mentioned in victims.auschwitz.org/victims? (*)?

But instead, to be disrespectfully tooted, boosted, tweeded, retweeded and facebooked on the internet?

The reason why this takes place is explained by comparing the two screenshots at the bottom of infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat (or by starting here: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat).

Would you like your picture and PII to be abused for propaganda after your death?

(*) Sidenote: there are three women by the name "Eva Friedmann" (note: nn) in the Auschwitz victims database - all with identical "pictures". Pityful pre-captivitity pictures, of Jews only (!), are grabbed (without permission, by the current Zionist Auschwitz maintainers) from websites telling the real story about holocaust victims. They won't add them to their database, but will disrespectfully broadcast all over the internet, to be amplified by click-cattle.

My grandfather was a jew. Mina Leuw's mothers maiden name was van Straten (see joodsmonument.nl/nl/page/18316). Like my grandfather's and mine. Mina may be a relative of me.

I am DISGUSTED by toots like the above from the current Auschwitz mainainers, who do not care about holocaust victims.

AT ALL.

Instead of updating their database (see screenshot or open victims.auschwitz.org/victims/), they abuse them for Hasbara. They literally facebook them as well. Without permission. This was in 2024: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=84 (she will probably be reposted later today).

One of the members of the Auschwitz council is Avner Shalev (auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw), a former high-ranked IDF-officer.

Part of their resolution (auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw) reads:

Threatened in its existence, the State of Israel has the right to self-defense in accordance with international law and the principles of humanitarianism.

Compare that to their statement regarding Ukraine in x.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1 (or look at them, side by side, in infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat).

Previous toot: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat.

By tooting holocaust victims, they want you to feel sorry for Israeli's who live now. Israeli's, as I write this, have been blocking all humanitarian aid to Gaza since March 2.

Israeli's are today literally starving one million children in concentration camp Gaza (as well as bombing them).

I hate your world, and I loathe all the idiots who boost such dehumanizing spam.

Time and time again Israel's narrative has been exposed as false, and even their most 'liberal' news outlets are having tantrums about it.

"Haaretz presents itself as the liberal, open-minded newspaper in Israeli society, and yet here they are, hanging up on their own interview because they didn't like my answers, going so far as to encourage me to change my answers to get this interview published."

The information in the toot broadcasted by the current maintainers of KL Auschwitz seems to have been copied from geni.com/people/Lilian-Paulett.

Note: nobody with the name "Buschel" is even mentioned in victims.auschwitz.org/victims?.

However, according to kazernedossin.memorial/remembe "Paulette Liliane Buschel" was born exactly two years earlier in Berlin. In particular when combined with the text in kazernedossin.memorial/biograf, that story seems a lot more trustworthy.

Probably the current (Zionist) Auschwitz maintainers (auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw, see their statement at the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw) prefer better looking pictures (is it even real, or beautified using AI?).

Why? Compare the screenshots at the bottom of infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat (or see the previous toot in this series: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat).

@WilliamNB : unfortunately the former concentrationcamp is now maintained by Zionists.

One of the board members is a former high-ranked member of the Israeli Destruction forces (auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw).

The resolution at the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw clarifies this (see the first screenshot below; the contrast with their statement regarding Ukraine, in the second screenshot, can't be bigger:
x.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1).

They don't care about holocaust victims in their automated #hasbara spam stream (*), which is only intended to make people feel sorry for Israeli Jews.

(*) Murdered Jews with "human" pre-captivity photo's in their toots are usually missing in their online database. In addition, the current maintainers make a lot of dehumanizing errors in their toots.

Note: Michał Lask, born 20 April 1929 in Będzin, is not in victims.auschwitz.org/victims?.

Like most Jews shown on pre-captivity pictures who are being broadcast by the current Auschwitz maintainers, Doris Kindlerová does "not exist" in victims.auschwitz.org/victims?.

Apparently the current Auschwitz maintainers retrieved her information elsewhere, perhaps in holocaust.cz/en/database-of-vi ?

The request of holocaust.cz is clear however.

Therefore, is it prudent to broadcast pictures of #Holocaust victims all over the internet (including Facebook and X), taking into account the #NeverAgainJewsOnly statement of Avner Shalev (IDF: auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw) et al. at the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw, which includes:

Threatened in its existence, the State of Israel has the right to self-defense in accordance with international law and the principles of humanitarianism.

Do the current Auschwitz maintainers *really* care about #HolocaustVictims? In particular when, at the same time, they choose to ignore the suffering of Palestinian children? Or do they just want viewers/boosters to help protect Israeli's "under attack"?

In addition, the current Auschwitz maintainers keep making dehumanizing mistakes; see infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat.

Action Amstel Gold Race

Wilhelminabrug, Maastricht, zondag 20 april om 09:00 CEST

Free Palestine Maastricht (source)

🚨 Join us to protest!

This week, the Amstel Gold Race kicked off in Maastricht — but among the cyclists was the so-called ‘Israeli’ team, backed by zionist billionaire Ron Baron and built as part of the regime’s “Start-Up Nation” propaganda machine. It’s not just cycling — it’s sportwashing: a deliberate attempt to whitewash the crimes of apartheid and occupation through international sports.

No to normalisation. No to occupation. Yes to liberation.

Be there — Sunday, April 20th at 9 AM. Raise your voice for Palestine.

Boycott the race. Break the silence.

The IDF, the current Auschwitz maintainers (auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw), do not care about Holocaust victims.

Just Boost™: #NeverAgainJewsOnly

(See the resolution at the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw or in x.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1).

They *know* that it's Rebecca Vijevano shown in the photo, as can be seen in their tweet posted on the same day in x.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1.

And exactly one year earlier, in x.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1.

They don't care.

Also note that although Rebecca Vijevano *is* mentioned in victims.auschwitz.org/victims/, her birthday is wrong and there is zero other information. Little Doris Mireille Lewy is not found at all: victims.auschwitz.org/victims?.

It's a disgrace for victims of the Holocaust. They're being humiliated and abused for #Hasbara by Zionists, and idiots are boosting it.

Edited to add, here is another humiliating fact: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat.

@JimmyB : I know people for who the news is simply too distressing. Or have a lot of other things to do, for example to make a living.

I too have days that I cannot cope with images of unjust things happening all around the world.

I have bigger problems with people spreading or boosting fake news and plain #hasbara; IMO it is them we have to make change their minds (or block if that's impossible).

“The silencing of pro-Palestinian or anti-genocide voices is the reason why this genocide is still going on after 10 months.”

It contains a HUGE misunderstanding:
"pro-Palestinian" and "anti-genocide" voices are two *VERY* different things.

Perhaps NOT from the PoV of Palestinians, but DEFINITELY from the viewpoint of most west-EU citizens, their media and their governments.

Sunday I joined a protest in Rotterdam that was announced as an emergy protest "do not let Gaza starve" (in Dutch: [2]).

However, *AGAIN* it was a *PRO-PALESTINE* protest (see the video I made in infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat).

West-EU people, and possibly "their" think tanks, are made to believe that they have to choose between *either* Palestine *or* Israel to exist "from the river to the sea".

Enormously affecting western thinking, the Israeli propaganda machine does their utter best to continuously remind us of the Holocaust, and to make us believe that anyone who denies Israel from "defending themselves against terrorism" is a Holocaust-denier and/or an antisemite. Unfortunately, this *just works*.

On Dutch TV viewers are reminded of WWII *every day*. It simply is #Hasbara without viewers noticing it, and even the media fail to see their bias.

[Note: my grandfather, born in 1900, was a Jew. He was sent to nazi labour camps (instead of Auschwitz) because he was maried to a Dutch woman. His family was murdered by the nazi's. I do not hate non-Zionist Jews.]

Pro-Palestine demonstrations have been counter-productive from the start. If the most extremist arguments are not removed, like shouting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", I will remain one of the very few Dutch people who is willing to join such protests. And I'm getting tired, because it feels pointless.

IMO #FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight - but her PoV is considered to be too extremistic, in particular when taking into account the immense failure of EU-countries to protect Jews during WWII. It is why hasbara works so well (in Germany in particular).

The cold blooded execution of the rescue workers made it to the news on Dutch TV, but the murder of approx. 17,000 Gazan children and the starvation of 2 million hardly gets any attention.

If polarization is not reduced RIGHT NOW, the media will turn away again. In particular because this year it's 80 years ago WWII ended in NL (victim remembrance day is on May 4), the tone of the debate needs to change. NOW.

If not, 2 million Gazans will die.

@Quarky : you are responding to an automated send-only channel. They will not respond.

First off: my grandfather was a Dutch Jew who was sent to labour camps during WWII. He survived, but his family was murdered by Nazis.

Yes, #Auschwitz has information about at least gay people and once in a while publish that via this channel. Also, sometimes they publish info about war criminals such as Mengele, but that may not be the criminals you're referring to.

There are actually two #Auschwitzes:

1) The actual Holocaust memorial. Their goal is to make people enforce "Never again".

2) The current extremely Zionist maintainers of #KLAuschwitz, including former IDF person #AvnerShalev: auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw. The council's message is clear, from the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw:

Threatened in its existence, the State of Israel has the right to self-defense in accordance with international law and the principles of humanitarianism.

Their goal is to make people enforce #NeverAgainJewsOnly

There also are two databases.

One database (not accessible online) is used to transmit feel-sorry messages of Holocaust victims. Pityful pre-captivity photos will be included for JEWS ONLY.

Incidental (cover-up?) messages Sinti, Roma and gay people all come without photos.

Too often the information being broadcaust contains even more dehumanizing errors than the horrors they describe (examples: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat; see also the more recent screenshot below).

The other database is online in victims.auschwitz.org/victims. It is horribly incomplete and confusing. Most of the Jewish victims in the first database are not included in this database.

If the current Auschwitz maintainers *really* cared about Holocaust victims, they'd merge the databases and fix all errors. The don't.

Auschwitz and it's victims are being abused for #Hasbara - with naïve idiots amplifying their spams by boosting and retweeting.

Do you want to be #facebooked after your death, possible errors included?

A lot more reliable info regarding Holocaust victims can be found elsewhere on the internet (search engines find most of it, be persistent and experiment with search terms).
