History of Sorts

Never Again are two words that are easily said.

Though, do we mean them? Or are we just saying them to make ourselves feel better about us? Recently, I was called ”a genocide junkie.” I did not judge the person who said it because I could see why they said it. I disagree—because they are wrong about it. I do write so many posts about the Holocaust. Those posts didn’t give me a high because the opposite is true. Sometimes, they affect me physically.

I, too, say, “Never Again,” and it is so easy to say. We, including me, must put our hearts into it when we say those two words. Otherwise, it just becomes a hollow slogan.

We have to avoid that of happening, because victims like Seraphina Rebecca van Moppes-Wolf and her daughter Margaretha Rebecca van Moppes.

Seraphina Rebecca van Moppes-Wolf was born in Watergraafsmeer, the Netherlands, on 20 December 1914. The Nazis murdered her at Auschwitz on 6 September 1944. She reached the age of 29 years.

Margaretha Rebecca van Moppes was born in Amsterdam on 7 July 1940. She was murdered at Auschwitz with her mother on 6 September 1944. She was four years old.

We have been saying Never Again for decades. Unfortunately, there have been genocides since, and it is starting to happen again. Let us make sure that Never Again means Never Again.
