Holocaust historian: "cockroaches" and "dogs" are both derogatory but different in degree of negativity
If Hong Kong aspires to be an international city, it has to respect world history. The so-called “best in Asia” Hong Kong police force do not seem to have learnt from significant lessons in world history.
Nearly three years ago, in the Beating of Ken Tsang case, seven police officers were jailed for beating up protestor Ken Tsang during the Umbrella Movement. This led to a protest by tens of thousands of police officers during which a police officer drew an analogy between the difficult situations they encountered and the Nazi persecution the Jews faced. Consequently, both the German and the Israeli consulates criticised such analogy as inappropriate.

'Holocaust Victim' Trend on #TikTok
Role-playing Holocaust victims has been trending on the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok. The video function allows people to show fake bruises and wear a striped inmate outfit or one of the armbands marked with the Star of David Jews were ordered to wear under Nazi Germany.
The Auschwitz museum that was built on a death camp in Poland described this behavior as "hurtful and offensive" and are "dangerously close or already beyond the border of trivialization of history".
In reality, the Holocaust marked the Nazi’s genocide of 6 million European Jews, with approximately one million people killed at the Auschwitz camp between 1940 and 1945 including more than 100,000 non-Jews.

Video Shows the Horror of China's So-Called "Education Camp" in Uyghur
Released on Oct 10, 2020, the video shows a frail Uyghur man 'returning' from what the Chinese Communist Party government called "education camp".
The man was in a condition that he cannot walk on his own and had to be carried by another person. The health of the man is equally worrying.
The original Tweet about the video compares the traumatic scene to Holocaust caused by the #Nazi:
//This is the condition of a #Uyghur man who was lucky enough, unlike millions of others, to be released from #China's brutal #concentrationcamps in Occupied #EastTurkistan. What China is doing in East Turkistan is a 21st Century #Holocaust.//
