Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
ALT A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

In sub-Saharan Africa, 8% of households with access to electricity rely on off-grid solar systems.

Hi @mandgsa
How does this - investing in *new* oil & gas - square with your
"Group Climate Objectives:
To reach net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest, following
Paris-aligned decarbonisation pathways for both our investments and operations" ?
The M&G Equity Fund now includes a stake in Hosken Consolidated Investments (HCI), which gives our investors exposure to the burgeoning Namibian oil industry. We’re sharing some of the exciting details behind this move.

This would be unlawful pending the outcome of your appeal. The Natl Air Quality Officer refused your application to measure emissions this way, which would result in doubling emissions compared to compliance with the pollution standards:
