Arrestees' forearms marked with Nazi-styled "distribution codes"
(02 Nov) As the number of arrestees rises to 3000, many released on bail revealed to Apple Daily that inhumane treatment of arrestees ran rampant behind closed doors. As lawyers met their clients in the police stations, they found that many arrestees had numbers marked on their forearm with a permanent marker. This shocked the lawyer immensely, and commented that this practice mirrored the Nazis during World War II, when they would mark prisoner numbers on the prisoners' bodies. The Hong Kong police admitted that they had assigned numbers to people who were arrested but did not comment on allegations of marking “prisoner numbers” on the skin of the arrestees. Normally people who were arrested would have a label to help police identify people. but sources say the numbers marked on the forearms of the arrestees are different from those of the label. It is believed that other people who were arrested had similar experiences.

The re-occupation of the Rhineland and the nonchalance of the European Allies
Editor’s Note: Is Hong Kong the new Rhineland?
In March 1936, the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Pact by reoccupying and re-militarizing the Rhineland shortly after the Nazi Party rose to power.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed in July 1919 after World War I to call for stiff war reparation payments and other punishing peace terms for defeated Germany, among which included the reduction of Germany’s military forces and de-militarization of the Rhineland.
The European allies including France and Britain were thrown into confusion by this violation. Proposals were made to the German ambassadors but Hitler reportedly refused to withdraw his troops. France was on the verge of a general election thus hesitant to act while the British government ended up doing nothing because its people felt the Treaty of Versailles was unfair and too harsh on Germany.
The reoccupation of the Rhineland marked the beginning of a serious of military events that eventually led to World War II.

Infiltrate the academia?
Do you find it similar to Taiwan?
Tibetans' self-immolations are perturbing the Chinese Communist Party?
Can't understand why Hongkongers wear masks when protesting on the streets?
As for whether or not the Taiwanese are Chinese, it's politically impossible at this stage, yet culturally inseparable.
Don't get mad, I'm only kidding. Everything above is just analogies. What I have just said is useless anyway.
“Hitler knew that it was not easy to buy off the American media. Gaining support and sympathy from the most prestigious schools in the US was the most effective way to clean Nazi Germany's name. This is the same strategy employed by China.
“Harvard’s James Bryant Conant was one such university president who fell into this trap. He did not like the Nazi regime at all but held extremely tolerant feelings towards Germany, believing that culture and politics could be separated; this was exactly what the Nazis wanted.
“His academic purism caused him to turn a blind eye to Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews. He refused to criticise Nazi Germany and even rationalised all of Germany's actions. He believed that the Nazis were justified by their unfair treatment after World War I.
“With the university president behaving as such, his dean likewise did not lag behind. Roscoe Pound, the Dean of Harvard Law School, graciously accepted an honorary degree from the University of Berlin in 1934. When he returned to the US, he kept talking about all he saw and heard in the new Germany. He insisted that no matter how long they lived there, the Nazi regime would never persecute Jewish people and scholars.”

Appointing Judges in a Police State
[ #LivingUnderaRock ] Nazi Germany was a notorious police state. After Hitler came to power, the parliament under his control passed a law that enabled him to appoint civil servants and judges as the Führer. The "old Germans" who believed in the Weimar Republic's democratic system and the separation of powers were mocked for living under a rock. In 1942, Hitler appointed the senior Nazi party member, Otto Thierack, as the Reich Minister of Justice. Thierack then took further steps to overhaul the judges. He issued a series of "Letters to All Judges"* to instruct them on how to "lawfully" persecute the Jews and other minorities, much to Hitler's satisfaction.

Estonia condemns Beijing for implementing National Security Law in Hong Kong,
Eastern Europe sees China and Russia as foremost threats
At a time of increasing tension between China and the United States, many Eastern European countries are gradually changing their attitudes, equating China with Russia as their main threat, openly criticizing Beijing, and even withdrawing cooperation on infrastructure projects.
At the United Nations, Estonia joined other countries in condemning Beijing's push for the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and opposition parties called for a stronger government towards China.
The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian parliament, Enn Eesmaa, said he joined other lawmakers in condemning China's push for the National Security Law in Hong Kong. Estonia joined more than 20 countries in a similar statement at the UN Human Rights Committee late in June 2020.
The Estonian president visited China in September 2018 to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and others but mentioned the "Chinese threat" three times in the past year. She said it may even be more significant than Russia's and called for vigilance against China's expanding influence.
The leader of the Estonian Reform Party, Kaja Kallas, criticized China's persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang as equivalent to the Nazis' treatment of Jews in Germany and called on the government to be tougher to China and to criticize Russia for human rights violations. She also mentioned that the Estonian government did not even dare to publicly and formally thank Taiwan for providing health care supplies to Estonia.

'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.//

Czech Terezín Memorial Exhibits Portraits of Hong Kong #PoliticalPrisoners
A painting installation by Hong Kong artist #LorettaLau depicting some Hong Kong political prisoners will open on 7 October 2021 in Terezín Memorial, a former #NAZI concentration camp in the #CzechRepublic.
Lau was invited to take part in Fortress 1980 exhibition and human rights conference. Titled ‘The Cells’, the paintings are installed in solitary confinement cells, a stark reminder of ‘the nature of the dictators has never changed,’ said Lau.
'The Cells' features 13 political prisoners under the Hong Kong National Security Law, including Jimmy Lai Chi-ying, Tonyee Chow Hang-tung, Tony Chung Hon-lam, Agnes Chow Ting, and more.
A faint portrait of each prisoner is painted on a piece of white door curtain installed at the entrance to a solitary confinement cell.
To have a clear view of the portraits, visitors must walk into the cells. Looking from inside out, the images will be lit up by the light outside.
The design aims to arouse the visitor’s empathy with those imprisoned. ‘I hope by having them walking into the cells, they will have a direct and personal experience of how being confined feels like,’ said Loretta.
*Note: The artist Loretta Lauwill stage a live performance at Terezín Memorial at 5pm Thursday Oct 7 (HKT 2300). She will use her movements and voices to commemorate the countless people who suffered in the concentration camps, to resonate between the tragedies in the past and the happening misfortunes.
The performance will be streamed live at: https://youtu.be/IZ6b-KPctOk
