Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay, #YomHaShoah.✡️

Like so many others alive today, the memory of this family's connection to the #Holocaust had been lost, until they charted out their #Genealogy. This video gives a mind-jarring demonstration of how many branches of so many #FamilyTrees were never allowed to bloom & grow, and a vivid reminder of why we must #NeverForget .

The #AntiSemitism which fueled the gas chambers did not suddenly begin in the 1930s. It had been kindling a flame of hate long before, and was merely practicing for #Auschwitz & #Buchenwald, when the brutality of the #Pogroms began in the 1800s.

#Genealogy is important because it does not merely give us names; it connects us to #history and imbues & instills within us the importance of fighting the hatred of the past, whenever it raises its ugly head in our present.

I was watching a #UsefulCharts #YouTube video about the Borgia family tree and they showed a painting of Giulia Farnese, one of Rodrigo Borgia's mistresses. The painting depicted her and a unicorn; they captioned it "Giulia Farnese (Left)."

With all the chatter about #ElonMusk, I thought some of you would appreciate this video from #UsefulCharts about his family tree. There are skeletons aplenty but it's pretty interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnb-uNTo28w
