“Never Again” Facebook Posts To Magically Prevent Another Holocaust

Berlin, April 27 – Bruno Schmidt, 30, has spent most of his life as an ardent admirer of Nazism, but after hearing that Chloe Horowitz, 17, of Teaneck, New Jersey, liked a “Never Again” post on her friend Shira Scheinerman’s wall, he has renounced his hateful worldview and resolves to correct his behavior.

The proliferation of such posts on Facebook in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day today has also prompted the government of Iran to retract its opposition to Israel and to cease seeking the country’s destruction. Hamas, which has heretofore been committed to elimination of the”Zionist entity” and the commission of genocide against its Jewish inhabitants, was swayed by the moving graphic posted by Stephanie Cohen, 22, showing a yellow flower and a man walking toward the infamous gate of Auschwitz.

Across the globe, the naive earnestness of Jewish youths is having a profound effect in the most unlikely of places, notably in the caves and hideouts of the Hindu-Kush mountains of Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have announced they apologize for all the enmity and vow to respect even those who believe or think differently from them. Mustafa El-Bir, a Sudanese man fighting against NATO forces, specifically cited the words “so sad” he saw in a comment to a Facebook post showing the iconic image of a young boy surrendering to Nazi soldiers during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

“Those two words broke me,” said El-Bir, whose regular duties include dismembering villagers accused of helping the Americans, and gang-raping girls suspected of immodest behavior. “The humanity.”

Yad Vashem, a Jerusalem-based Holocaust research institution, hailed the grass-roots efforts, in particular praising the work of Alex Bergman, 16, a sophomore at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County in Uniondale, New York. “Alex posted a simple ‘Never Again’ to his wall this morning, and managed to garner a full three dozen Likes by noon,” said Avner Shalev, chairman of Yad Vashem’s board. “As a direct result, a group of far-right Hungarians got lost on their way to defacing a Jewish cemetery outside Budapest.”
