In reply to the discussion: Why I will continue to call it Alligator Auschwitz instead of Alligator Alcatraz [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(168,791 posts)38. The new facility is not an extermination camp but this facility clearly meets the definition of a concentration camp
trump and DeathSantis have built a true concentration camp and trump is "joking" about feeding detainees to alligators. This new concentration camp scares me. There are several good comparisons of the Auschwitz camp and living facilities compared to this facility

I am former member of the board of my 2400 family temple and have got to listen a good number of holocaust survivors over the years. trump/DeathSantis' new facility is a concentration camp where it is likely that normal law abiding detainees may end up (over 60% of the ICE detainees have no criminal record).
This facility is not Auschwitz but could be just the beginning

OP
I think I will go with this moniker. Once evidence of systematic death happens, I'll upgrade to the Auschwitz moniker.

Like Auschwitz, the Florida concentration camp is filled with people of the "wrong" background

Agreed. And they will all die in their cages when it inevitably floods (already did). We are down a depraved road. n/t

As I recall, the ovens were to cover up the evidence of death from other means. n/t

Yeah, the cruelty and desire to punish/remove/imprison/kill others remains the same.

Trump has exposed the many fascists lurking in our country. Their stain will remain for a long time to come.

I agree it is a concentration camp - and I believe it is important that we accurately label it

After the first hurricane, that will be a moot point. And he's sending them there knowing that storm is coming.
