FROM THE LRC
International Holocaust Rememberance Day - “January 27, 2022, marks 77 years since the Allied troops arrived at the gates of Auschwitz, but it is clear that the story of how they came to be there in the first place must be shared more widely. The Holocaust -- the murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators -- didn't occur in a vacuum. It was the product of unchecked hatred and collective silence. Now, more than ever, we must join together to remember the past, to build a better future for all.” #WeRemember Is a website dedicated to remembering the victims of the Holocaust and the lessons we need to remember.
“Second World War and Holocaust survivors are few, and these events will soon pass out of living memory. It is imperative to take any opportunity to hear or read from first-hand accounts. Museums across the country and world work tirelessly to preserve and teach the history of the war and the genocide.” The University of Wisconsin Holocaust remembrance website provides numerous links to Holocaust resourses; here are just a few:
The free United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. is a living memorial to the Holocaust, encouraging people to educate themselves about the Holocaust, confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity.
The World Jewish Congress (WJC) and UNESCO established aboutholocaust.org with the goal of providing young people with essential information about the history of the Holocaust and its legacy.
The #ProtectTheFacts campaign seeks to increase awareness of Holocaust distortion. It empowers individuals to identify and counter Holocaust distortion in society and on social media.
Please take a look at these powerful and courageous books on the topic of the Holocaust. Simply click on the highlighted links to place a book on hold or read a review.
