In a 12‑hour takeover, they demanded dignity, better care, and a People’s Hospital for the South Bronx which for too long was and still is ignored by systemic neglect.
Their occupation wasn’t just a protest—it was a radical act of self-determination. The Young Lords showed us that when oppressive systems ignore our needs, we must rise, occupy the space, and rebuild from the ground up.
Their demand for a hospital that cared for the people—by the people—reverberates today as a rallying cry.
In fact, having looked through all the Alexander Werth books I possess in my library – NONE use the term ‘Holocaust’ – despite the fact Werth wrote extensively about the atrocities committed by the Nazi Germans. He was the first BBC Correspondent to make a report (in 1944) when he encountered the ‘Majdanek’ Death Camp in Poland. As a Journalist ‘Specialising’ in the USSR – Werth made a point of carefully examining the Hitlerite murder and maiming of the 41 million Soviet men, women and children which suffered during WWII. Nowhere does Werth use the term ‘Holocaust’. Finally, David Irving’s book regarding the biography of Josef Goebbels states that 26 high-ranking Nazi German Military Officers were captured by the Soviet NKVD – and whilst under intense interrogation – all admitted participating in the ‘1941’ mass execution of Polish officers at Katyn! Goebbels was concerned that his carefully crafted ‘lie’ about the Soviets committing this crime would now be undermined!
