Thalerhof was the first concentration camp in Europe, active from 1914 to 1917 and its primary victims were Eastern Christians. This camp preceded even Dachau which is considered to be the prototype of concentration camps built by Nazi Germany.

It is the place where Austrians interned 30,000 “Russo-philes” which meant that those who identified as Rusyns (or Ruthenian), including Orthodox and Greek Catholics, were interned in either Thalerhof or Terezin.

Rusyns are a little known population who originated in the northern Carpathian mountains, along the modern borders of Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. To this day, their identities as Rusyns are not acknowledged and they’re often underrepresented in censuses, especially in Ukraine, where they are merely listed as Ukrainian highlanders.

There are countless efforts to erase this part of Eastern European history and today, Thalerhof has been razed to the ground and an airport is built where it once stood. Carpatho-Rusyns, in their attempt to escape genocide, are responsible for bringing Orthodox Christianity to America.

Do you believe the current genocide is comparable to the shoah? why or why not

it is not comparable in scale to the shoah(the holocaust), but it is still an attempt of genocide, and it comes from the same ideologies and hatred that flues nazis and fascists.

recently I started comparing it more to the nakba, and called it "an ongoing nakba". I believe this comparison is more accurate, but I also believe using the holocaust, which is probably the most famous examples of a genocide, and people have a lot of very strong emotions tied to it, is very useful in conveying our point.

eventually, whenever I compare the israeli government and zionists to nazis, or the war on gaza to the holocaust, it comes from a place of a warning, showing people what their path is leading to.

comparing any 2 events is very nuanced, and gets harder and more dangerous the bigger one of the events is. understanding this lead me to shy from calling it "the palestinian holocaust", and I try to only compare events to the holocaust whenever a comparison is actually justified.

for example comparing the sde teiman detention camp(which no israeli media outlet covered yet) to a concentration camp is justified, because, well, its basically a concentration camp, where soldiers put palestinians, that a lot of them later get released because they never committed any crime(some ever were believed to be dead by family members, because they just disappeared one day), and torture them, and use their bodies to train medics without even giving them anaesthesia.

hopefully this clears my thought on comparing the war to the holocaust!
