Everyone post-WW2: "Never again"
There’s a YouTube channel covering WWII week by week, and there’s a sister series called War Against Humanity, which covers the atrocities committed on all sides—not just the a death camps and the murders in the ghettos, but firebombing campaigns, the Japanese internment camps, the Bata’an death march, the famine in India at the hands of the Raj, and so on. Every episode ends with host Spartacus Olsson repeating the phase that we should be using, “Never forget”. Because a huge contingent of us seems to be forgetting.
Thanks for the recommendation, definitively going to check that out.
Links in case others are looking for it as well:
WW2 Week by Week
War Against Humanity
Is that like The Great War or something?
Like The Great War, the shows are written and/or hosted by Indy Neidell and Spartacus Olsson (with additional programming by Olsson’s wife and daughter Astrid and Anna Deinhart, respectively), but there’s a different production team.
That was the channel they had when they did WWI. So, same concept and core team, but different channel.
Seems those other people haven't really learned anything from it at all, considering they'd still be down for it happening to anyone else.
