My Genocide Playlist

While we all collectively watched genocides unfold in real time on our phones, we listened to music.

I am still unable to comprehend how we failed to act.
How we failed to speak up as a country
How we could just let it happen.
How we took the side of the traumatized abuser.
How we failed to take action.
How we failed to recognize our responsibility.

Do you feel the same shame as me?

While the atrocities were being commited, a black hole formed in my heart and swallowed every positive emotion. I am devoid of tears. Numb.

We did not learn from our mistakes.
Germany is complicit.
Germany is guilty.
Goremany.

I despise our collective silence.

So, I had an idea.
Tell me about the genocide,
without telling me about the genocide

Share with the world what music you were listening while an entire people was being systematically being eraticated.
Show me yours.
I showed your mine.

This is it, my genocide playlist.
