Her warning carries the weight of history — and the urgency to stop hatred before it grows.
🕊️ “Fascism and Nazism start very slowly,
I would say almost unnoticeably.
A joke here, a slur there.
In Germany it was singing in pubs.
However, it begins with singing in pubs,
and very soon it ends
with the gas chambers in Auschwitz.
The road is not long.
I therefore think, that we must be very wary,
and recognize every sign
that might lead fascism or Nazism,
because we already know
where it can lead.”
These are the words of Evelina Merová, the Czech-born Holocaust survivor.
Her story — from Prague and Theresienstadt, through Auschwitz to liberation — reminds us that indifference lets hatred grow, and vigilance is how we protect humanity.
