This

is not a prison

it's a concentration camp

Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Poland.

*Auschwitz consisted of both concentration camps and extermination centers. The extermination centers were built after the first concentration camps.

(722 posts)They missed a fine chance to lock up a convicted felon today; one with many crimes committed and many yet to be discovered.

(12,595 posts)as time goes by they begin to look into 'special treatment.' I do not take the word 'Auschwitz' in vain. The sacred trust is Never Again.

Only difference is in the materials.
Then I say the caption about Birkenau.
Then I scrolled up to see the other captions, suddenly unsure.
Because in America in 2025, that's where we are.

(175,074 posts)trump and DeathSantis have built a true concentration camp and trump is "joking" about feeding detainees to alligators. This new concentration camp scares me. There are several good comparisons of the Auschwitz camp and living facilities compared to this facility

I am former member of the board of my 2400 family temple and have got to listen a good number of holocaust survivors over the years. trump/DeathSantis' new facility is a concentration camp where it is likely that normal law abiding detainees may end up (over 60% of the ICE detainees have no criminal record).
This facility is not Auschwitz but could be just the beginning

They have their own private Gestapo of unidentified masked marauders and are building Concentration/Death Camps nationwide to imprison the ICE Gestapos human bounty.
Do not be deceived. These camps are not only for black and brown immigrants. They will soon house the Trump Regimes domestic enemies.
This is only the beginning. Want to know their next move? Study the history of the Third Reich.
