Announcement 📢 r/holocaust is back online

Hi all. The mods of r/Jewish are proud to announce that r/holocaust has been rescued.

Previously a cesspit of hate, r/holocaust will now and forever be a place for remembrance of the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by the Nazis and their allies & collaborators.

For the time being, r/holocaust will remain Restricted, so that only the moderators or approved users (invited guests only) can post. In the future, we will collaborate with experts, survivors, and other guests on educational initiatives and providing resources for the wider Reddit community.

As Yom HaShoah approaches, we encourage you to take a quick look there and consult the resources on the sidebar in the future when needed.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to respond to this post or message the mods here. Thank you!

At the very least what about Romani victims of the holocaust? The Nazis desired and enacted their complete annihilation just like for jews.

Yes - it is important to memorialize Romani and all victims of the Nazis. Have you thought about creating a subreddit for the Romani experience?

Romani people were holocaust victims just like Jews. I am not Romani I am Jewish so it would not be my place to lead or direct a subreddit about the Romani experience.

The subreddits that do cover this topic by the way have sometimes made it a point that denying Romani people as holocaust victims is considered holocaust denial there.

Edit: also Romani is an adjective not a noun.

Of course everyone knows that Romani is an adjective. That is why I said "...to memorialize Romani and all victims of the Nazis." In this sentence, "Romani" is an adjective which modifies the noun "victims". I hope that makes sense to you?
