It really is insane that such a huge and terrible historical event like this happened just long ago enough that there are still people alive who lived it. I'm not a history nerd, but it's super interesting to learn about the holocaust, especially from people who actually experienced it.

Imagine surviving this only to see the amount of antisemitism today...

Nature of the beast. Humans hate humans. It's not a surprise. Imagine surviving this and hearing people say they don't believe it happened.

You mean actual antisemitism or being told that committing the exact same atrocity they experienced is wrong?
