i think it's very relevant. The Jews in nazi Germany were a persecuted minority, the world ignored their plight and ignored the military buildup of Germany - and then we got a big war. There is more than one analogy with what is happening now. I suspect that some forces in China are testing the level of what they can get away with; If we look the other way on the Uyghurs, then this will embolden them.

It's ironic because the fact people don't really care about the message of the poem, is actually what the author was warning us about...live and learn ?
