The dates. (Seriously)
It's 2024. The Holocaust (a specific genocide) ended 79 years ago.
So again, all holocausts are genocides, but not all genocides are holocausts.
I don't make words or their meanings.
I hope this helps 🫶
Well yeah... Obviously THE Holocaust isn't happening again... But A holocaust is... And sadly it's being perpetrated by the victims of THE Holocaust
The victim's of the Holocaust are dead, that's what being a victim of a genocide looks like.
The current genocide is being perpetrated by the descendants of the survivors of the Holocaust. Likely being seen as victims on the world stage for the last 75 years emboldened them to forget the horrors their parents and grand parents lived through.
In truth, genocide is a facet of human society, just like war and famine.
I think we can take the poster with the grain of salt it's pretty obviously intended to come with
