@ShadowTheSpringWizard Ew. You're reminding of that week back in elementary school, when we went for a trip to a farm in the mountains, and some person did some thing in my bed. Out of respect for their adult life, I am not going to mention anything more, because who knows who digs up these transcripts for who knows what reason who knows when.
@ZoestandswithUkraine hey I'm just the messenger, blame @Andreas for sending it! :D
@Andreasdetestscensorship awesome, I had no idea. Thought only schools here in Israel doing it, and here it's done in much better age, around 15. (9th grade)
I remember some details from my own visit, both sad and happy. (We visited the camps during day, then had some free time at evening, until we had to go to beds.)
@Andreasdetestscensorship true! :P
@ZoestandswithUkraine all good, I'm sure you know about the holocaust, and believe it was real. And that's enough.
Many people either don't know about it out of ignorance, some choose to believe it's just some conspiracy. And those should visit the camps to see what happened there.
@Andreasdetestscensorship yeah, here we have pretty new project that people come to survivor's home and listen there to their stories. (In the holocaust day.)
@Andreasdetestscensorship naturally those are the extreme parts of them, yeah. But it's hard to know in advance for sure, not any dictator would also try to erase whole populations.
@Andreasdetestscensorship ohh, I see now. So where was the first trip to? Can't see any way it would be a tip for whatever was put into your bed. ;)
@ShadowTheSpringWizard Seeing a place where it happened does convince some people
Realistically, it's least efficient against active deniers, and more efficient for people with mixed information
I.e. when school says it happened but their parents say it didn't, seeing an actual concentration camp could be what snaps them into reality
And long-term, it'll slowly reduce the footing the holocaust deniers have, and that's arguably the goal. You might not convince someone today, but you might convince their kids, or their grandkids, or their siblings, or friends, but still slowly build awareness
