As some of you may or may not know I work in a Jewish hospital that provides rehabilitation and palliative care, and we were provided w this booklet regarding care for holocaust survivors and family members

I thought I might share it since it may be of use to other ppl who care for older Jewish people

Tbh some of this, in particular the first few bullet points, looks broadly useful for talking about trauma and generational trauma even outside the specific context of the Holocaust, and this deserves to be shared around! Thanks for putting it here.

text transcript:

Ten Thoughtful Commandments of Caring for Holocaust Survivors

Keep reading

This is a really useful set of points for not only what it’s explicitly created for (which is in and of itself very important), but yes, also for a *lot* of major trauma, intergenerational trauma and its effects, and also useful to read through and just think about how these things apply to trauma and intergenerational trauma generally (which I promise is actually all around you, wherever you are, and affecting things in ways that one doesn’t notice, really, until one does.) Thank you in particular @kaaramel for the transcript.

“Nothing belongs to us anymore.
 They have taken away our clothes, our shoes, even our hair.
 If we speak, they will not listen to us.
 And if they listen, they will not understand.
 They have even taken away our names.

 My number is 174517. I will carry the tattoo on my left arm
 until I die.”

“What has violence against Nazis ever accomplished?” 

The end of the holocaust, for starters, ya lollipops. 

I actually love this post

You mean after they shot first? 🤔

Or did you forget that part as means to justify hitting people that just spoke hateful things.

You know, I was thinking maybe this time around we don’t wait until Nazis have already begun ethnic cleansing before we intervene. Just a thought. I know, really wild. Way out there. So radical. Pretty edgy and all. 

You don’t get to assault someone just because you dislike their socio-political opinions.

There’s a difference between the NSDAP and modern Neo-Nazis. The former is a totalitarian government responsible for the deaths of millions and the unprovoked invasion of several European nations. The latter are a small bunch of despicable people who are the NSDAP’s new-age fan club.

You don’t get to punch people just because you strongly disagree with them. If you did, that also means other people have equal right to punch you on the exact same grounds.

Until Nazis actually start harming others, you must leave them alone.

They HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. Like, recently!

Did you sleep through Charlottesville? Jesus.

Also where I live, a neo nazi punched a kid in the head (a protestor who was standing up against one of their white supremacist rallies) and he was hit so fucking hard, the kid DIED

And neo nazis stomping the shit out of black kids….or throwing acid on muslims….

Nazis don’t have “Socio-Political opinions”

Nazis are terrorists and deserve to be treated as such

NAZIS NEED TO BE WIPED FROM EXISTENCE

Every last worthless evil stinking one of them

THE ONLY GOOD NAZI IS A DEAD NAZI. And I will be a very happy woman when every single worthless Nazi dog-fucker whose ever been SHIT OUT into the world is rotting in the ground, being chewed on by worms. Because DYING is the only good thing any Nazi piece of FILTH will ever do in their entire worthless sickening existence

I can’t even fucking believe that in the year of our lord 20-fucking-18 that we have to have the “Nazis are vile creatures, we need to stomp them out” conversation.

This is a pro-”hit a fucking Nazi” blog and if you don’t like that, goodbye.
