Auschwitz Memorial

The memorial and museum at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp built during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Over a million people were murdered by the Nazis at the camp during the Second World War, most of them civilians including children. The memorial functions as a reminder of what can happen, and campaigns for it never to happen again.

A pop band from the Fediverse, their music is really well produced sharp retro synthpop, often featuring LGBTQIA+ themes in the lyrics. I would especially recommend their self-titled album, and “Constellation” is a good track to start off with.
