April 11th is the International Day of Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camp Inmates. This day was established by the UN's decision to commemorate the uprising of the Buchenwald concentration camp prisoners. 66 years ago, on April 11th 1945 a red flag was hoisted over the Buchenwald camp administrative building. On that day the inmates disarmed and took prisoner more than 800 SS-men and camp guards. The uprising saved the inmates from sure death, because it was only the day before, that the Nazis made the decision to exterminate all camp prisoners. Two days later US troops reached Buchenwald.
I also learned that the brassy feminist movement, FEMEN, undertook to mark this date for the following reasons:
the women's movement FEMEN at 12:00 at the Independence Square hosted an action "Fashizofreniya. The rally was dedicated to the International Day for the release of prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. Scenario campaign was inspired by the legendary film "Battleship Potemkin" by Sergei Eisenstein. FEMEN consider itself the principal to observe this day in Kyiv, a city that suffered most from the Nazi plague.
FEMEN-pacifist tore her militaristic clothing as a symbol of resistance to Nazi renaissance in Ukraine. "Fascism will not come back!" - "We are seriously concerned about the possibility of returning to Ukraine to Nazi values, as a logical result of government incompetence and apathy of the people of Ukraine. At such times, people tend to go for different-sized home-grown "Fuhrer." The more important for Ukrainians remember the lessons of history "- said the leader of the women's movement FEMEN Anna Gutsol.
They are brassy because they conduct their activist demonstrations in a state of undress and so, due to restraints, this is the best I could do:
I could not avoid showing you those Jewish stars.
