Remember the Past... Save the Future

Good night, everyone!

Here is an old photo, taken many years ago in Berlin, at the Old Jewish Cemetery. This set of statues is one of the many memorials to the dark era that was life in Germany before and during the WWII... it depicts a family of Jewish citizens and the horror and sadness that they lived under is well imprinted on their expressions. 😥

In these days and times, when the world has become unbelievably polarised, it's important to remember the errors from the past and avoid committing them over and over again.

As we speak, in some countries in the world... the same kind of horror that was inflicted upon the Jewish keeps happening to other people... and our politicians in the West, from the USA to Europe, from Russia to Australia... keep pretending that nothing bad is happening simply because... money speaks louder. If it were not for the incredible wealth of certain countries, their game of cruelty, massacring innocents and torturing children would have ended long ago. But since those countries are rich, well... the world's politicians turn a blind eye and whistle away. 🙄

Everyone knows what's going on in certain countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia... but no one dares to speak about it. Some even come up with feeble excuses to justify the behaviour of the aggressors, occupiers and genocidal criminals... Why? Mostly fear. Some countries have so much influence over the western corporations that anyone who dares to speak the truth... risks losing his/her job. 🤐

Our society need a big change, sooner rather than later.

Will humanity ever speak louder than money...?

Thank you Trin. It would have been great to place a label- lest we forget....

I don't remember to see any inscription at this particular sculpture but that message is place in a lot of others...

Thanks for your visit!

I love the statues. It's sad memories but as a work of art is great!

Indeed, it's a great looking piece! 😉

humanity can speak louder via blockchain

Let's hope so... Thanks for stopping by!

It is sad indeed that there are still many countries with dictators in control and there is nothing being done against them 😔

Yeah, they got oil, diamonds, gold, nuclear weapons... and they pay off everyone else to keep their mouth shut. 😣

Hi, friend @trincowski

Very good publication in honor of our Jewish brothers who suffered so much from the follies of some monsters.

And as you say, we must remember the past so as not to repeat the bad in the present and future.

Thank you very much for sharing

Thanks! Happy to see you here! 😊

A Very, good question...
The "only real way" to live as a decent human being is to generate your own income, and limit your contacts...
Sad, but true....

Yeah, that's probably the best thing to do...

Absolutely!
I have thought about it quite a bit...

I'm happy to hear that. Let's keep the past in the past. We have made enough mistakes already.

That works for Me,
though "human nature" cannot be forgotten...
Because if You do..
It will return...
🤔🙁🤔

Well, the entire world is still now in control of power and we, the general people are just helpless clowns. A little bit harsh I know but I feel that :(

Clowns... or pawns. Maybe a bit of both. 🙄

Thanks for sharing. It is a sad side of the history of our world. We have to keep being reminded to avoid disasters like to happen again. You have some good points. The world has changed a lot lately.

It sure has... but it still must change a lot. For the better, of course.
