I am an immigrant ๐จ๐ป๐๐. Sometimes, I try to imagine how horrible should feel to be prosecuted, by the simple fact that you have a different origin ๐, a different skin color ๐งor a different religion๐.
A few days ago, I learned about the story of the children ๐ถ๐พ๐ง๐ป๐ฆ of the “Vel d’hiv”๐ฒ❄️. Most of them from immigrant parents ๐ช➡️๐.
They were condemned and separated from their family, just because they professed a particular religion๐. Most of them never came back home ๐ง๐ป๐ซ➡️๐ก.
I could not help but to feel sad ๐. As an immigrant, I felt empathy for their stories.
I wanted to visit this place๐ to pay homage to their memory, because we might forgive but we should not forget.
We, as specie, should not forget the darkest pages of our history ๐ to avoid reproducing the same horror again.
๐จ๐ป Geek by nature, ๐ฌ๐น Guatemalan by birth, ๐ citizen by choice.
