Remembrance Notice

FancyPhillyshopper — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 21:45:26 GMT

Dear QVC,

Thank you for the blurb at the top of the page today which I just noticed.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.

Yes, I love to shop, but it is good to be reminded that we have a responsibility as human beings to help make our world a better place.

I appreciate the announcement!

I have to say, I'm not seeing the notice but I agree with your thoughts, and for all I know, I could be looking right at it!

@FancyPhillyshopper I am not seeing the notice either.

Where is it located?

Strange, but I don't see it either. I checked the QVC home page, but no notice. This is using safari on my iPad, not the app. Wonder why we can't see this worthwhile tribute?

Thank you for posting about this important day, @FancyPhillyshopper.

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it either.

Thanks, @FancyPhillyshopper . Remembering all who suffered and perished in that horrible cataclysm.

A professor posted today that on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, he chooses to remember little Istvan Reiner. Here he is a happy little boy, just a few days before he was taken and murdered at Auschwitz, at age four.

Painful, but important to remember.

Thank you for posting this. I also did not see the banner but am very grateful for the lives of the minority who managed to survive and had a place to go. Am Yisrael Chai!

They where just talking about it on my local news. They also mentioned how this will be the last time a lot of the Survivors will get together because of their age and so many are passing. Yes it is important to remember.

Did not see banner....but NEVER FORGET

@Oznell

Thank you for posting that picture of that darling little boy.
I think so many people forget what happened. That is very dangerous, because hate unfortunately never takes a vacation.

To think of any group of people as "the other" is hateful and dangerous.

** WARNING **

*Only* Select *SPOILER* below, if you're ready for an utterly, blunt, awful, yet devoted Memorial.

I cant even imagine living in a World where we dont, or wont, remember this horrid, unthinkable, outrageous, *HUMAN CAUSED* event.

Not environmental event. *HUMAN CAUSED!!*

I saw a picture a few years ago, where a man was atop of a bulldozer & he was wearing a mask, intent on bulldozing what he was bulldozing. Upon closer look, I wondered, "?what was he so intent on bulldozing?. At the scoop of his bulldozer were piles & piles of bones, human bones.

I was in SHOCK!

I can remember swallowing my own breath!

HOW could someone be seduced into Bulldozing Human Bones of killed people, people killed, by the hundreds? thousands? viciously. For an utterly, utterly, stupid, stupid reason! Unfathomable.

So we CAN NOT forget! I cant forget.

~ ~ ~

Remember the scene in "Schindler's List (1993)" movie, where it was "snowing?" It was NOT SNOW. It was ASHES! HUMAN ASHES, of those many many victims subjected to unthinkable human evil. It's *WHO* those ashes were?

I had a patient eons ago,who had her arm stamped with her Nazi number. I was aghast. I didnt know what to say. Her eyes were a kind of teary any way, elusive, with an unimaginable sadness. All I could say was, "I'm so sorry."

This was a crime of ALL of us.

Not just one, not just ignorant, power hungry soldiers.

Not just the evil in people, cause we ALL have some level of evil in us.

Just NEVER EVER EVER allow any where near such a most horrible, unthinkable event even to ignite, - not even a spark!! 'cause it spreads like wild fire. Like the outrageous recent Santa Ana Winds, California fires, at a minimum! Unstoppable, before you know it! Once it quietly takes hold by a little spark!

Dont think we're over it.

Each year, most Holocaust survivors die - live remnants, testifying of this horrid event, until its solely ancester's memories, risking being viewed as merely lore.

WE SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER!

AND NEVER ALLOW AGAIN!

! PROMISE !

I didn't see the notice but thank you for highlighting it.

Every year I ponder this tragedy in our history. It makes my heart sink.

It reminds me of my father in law years ago. He once showed me Polaroid black and white photos he had when he was in the army. His platoon was one of the first to find

a camp and the atrocities. I truly believe he carried that because when he came home he was never the same. He suffered emotionally and mentally.
Im not the generation that lived in that moment and I cannot imagine the impact the world felt when it was revealed.

Yes, while it can't be compared, and is less diabolically concentrated, powerful and "comprehensive" as the Nazis and their camps, our own age has its own 'fillip' on evil-- a dispersion of murdering sado-terrorists around the world, who leave filmed evidence of their heinous acts of torture and targeted murder, dementedly, as if they were something to be lauded.

@FancyPhillyshopper, @Oznell, @katie1859, @JoyFilled Warrior, @JoyFilled Warrior, @Q-Checker, @JeanLouiseFinch,

It occurred to me that some of you might not be familiar with the biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran minister who

stood up to Hitler. Eric Metaxas' book Bonhoeffer, Pastor,

Martyr, Prophet, Spy" is an excellent example of what one brave person can do in the face of evil.

Re: Remembrance Notice

Oznell — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 13:15:12 GMT

@PamfromCT , Eric Metaxas' illuminating book on the courageous Bonhoeffer is a fantastic recommendation!

Re: Remembrance Notice

PamfromCT — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 13:31:21 GMT

@Oznell

Thank you! I did go back and correct my spelling error!
What an example of bravery he was!

Hi @PamfromCT

Thank you for taking the time to offer up this important recommendation!

I'm familiar with some Bonhoeffer, but could certainly benefit from the need to know even more!

Take good care.

Yes! There was a movie about Bonhoeffer years ago and a new movie about him by Angel Sudios (who did The Sound of Freedom), that came out last November. We missed seeing it, but intend to look for streaming possibilities.

I think her point is there is no acknowledgement.
