Is this something from the post-war or did that really exist?
- layer8 7mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Orchestra_of_Auschwitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Orchestra_of_Auschwi... “The Germans wanted a propaganda tool for [SS] visitors and camp newsreels and a tool to boost camp morale.” There were also several men’s orchestras.
- noworriesnate 7mo agoInteresting, I imagine the propaganda was also used for the German public, because they had no idea they were death camps. Israel would doubtless keep its genocide a secret if it could, but there's just so much evidence created by smartphones. This is actually an example of how technology is making the world a massively better place--it's so much harder to genocide without creating tons of evidence.
