As I explained we feel that it&#8217;s a great disservice to education and remembrance, and it has affected me deeply personally making me question why we do this. Two things happened:<\/p>\n<p>1. You collectively gave us the most amazing reception and reminded us of how important the work we do is. I can&#8217;t thank you enough for the amazing comments, many  of them where kind, supportive, and motivating far beyond what I feel we deserve. You lifted my spirits and brought me out of the slump I was in, cementing, and confirming that what we do matters. In the name of the entire team: thank you so much, it is an immense honor to have you all with us.<\/p>\n<p>2. YouTube did not age restrict the video, and even cleared it for monetization, leading to that it once again reached a viewership like before the string of age restrictions we were struck with. We haven&#8217;t heard any explanation from YouTube and we won&#8217;t. Furthermore, I am painfully aware that these decisions depend completely on the whims of the individuals at Google who review the videos. We also know that these individuals are different for every video, so I fear that that this state of affairs will not remain. Already, this video was judged as &#8220;not suitable for all advertisers&#8221; and will therefore be recommended to viewers less often in YouTube&#8217;s system. Hence, although it pains us, and is against the principles we stand for, we have also prepared a version of this video with all images documenting the atrocities we expose blurred out &#8211; we can only hope that we don&#8217;t need it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to end with an anecdote out of my motivation to create this series. Many, many moons ago, when I was in senior high at boarding school in Sweden, Elie Wiesel &#8211; author, chronicler of the Holocaust, and survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald came to our school. It was in 1986, the same year that he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work, and if I remember correctly he had connected a lecture tour to his reception of the award.<\/p>\n<p>In any case &mdash; I had the privilege of speaking to Mr. Wiesel in a small group. He explained something that has stayed with me ever since. To him, his experiences were not defeating, the entire Holocaust was not a defeat, not only had humanity been victorious in the end, but he and others had survived to tell the tale &mdash; which to him was a special kind of victory that came with the responsibility of sharing and educating. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Wiesel, a kind, warm hearted man, full of humor and life despite the horrors he had lived, passed five years ago. It is for him, for the other survivors of every ethnicity faced by any kind or terror, and for those who didn&#8217;t make it through that we do this &mdash; to celebrate their life and continue turning their suffering from defeat into victory by remembering even after they are gone.<\/p>\n<p>Yours,<br \/>\nSpartacus <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-16-The-Bataan-Death-March-Begins-\u2013-WAH-032-\u2013-April-1942-Pt-1.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 15 Apr 2021 Malta and British cities are victim to German bombs, while the Japanese advance in Burma causes a refugee crisis.
