9 March 1941 | The Germans began the expulsion of Jews from the town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz) to a ghetto in Chrzanów (Krenau). Their apartments were taken over by workers of IG Farben building the new chemical plant. Most of the expelled Jews were later murdered in the #Auschwitz camp.

‼️🇺🇦Ukraine downs 34 of 48 Russian cruise missiles overnight Thu - General Zaluzhnyi (more) https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3680087-ukraine-downs-34-of-48-russian-cruise-missiles-overnight-thu-zaluzhnyi.html #Ukraine #News #Invasion #Russia #9yearsOfWarInUkraine
If all the Russian money in #Switzerland couldn't have bought neutrality even from the Swiss, then I don't know what that money could have ever been good for.
It's pretty perverse, though, to say "We're neutral here", when you know what happened in #Butscha, when you see all the death and destruction that #Russia is guilty of in #Ukraine.
Grand theft identity began soon after U arrived on Earth. Parents, teachers, clergy, & authority figures told U that you're inept, insignificant, ugly, stupid, unworthy, & sinful, & that the world's a dangerous jungle w/ threats at every turn. Over time U began to believe these terrible lies, until the day came when U forgot your innate beauty, strength, innocence, and safety. Eventually U adopted an identity contrary to your divine nature & have since lived as someone you're not.
