Carl,
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is always somber and always important.
But this year, its gravity is heightened as we witness a surge in antisemitism worldwide. We have recently seen Jews attacked, threatened on college campuses, and the proliferation of Holocaust denial online.
In challenging times like this, we turn to the wisdom of individuals such as Auschwitz survivor Ruth Cohen. Her experiences in the Holocaust are a testament to the devastating consequences of unchecked antisemitism. This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I am asking you to honor the millions whose lives were destroyed during the Holocaust, including survivors such as Ruth.
Please watch Ruth’s testimony and then make a gift to the Museum today. Your support will help us teach people across the world the lessons that are desperately needed right now. |
| | As antisemitism surges across the globe, it is more important than ever that the Museum focuses on why the Holocaust happened just as much as on what happened. The Holocaust was allowed to occur because of countless actions and inactions by people from all walks of life.
At the Museum, we teach the basic facts of Holocaust history and what made it possible. We also teach the urgent lesson that hatred may start with the Jews, but it rarely stops there.
This is a time for reflection and action. Please rush a gift today to help the Museum honor the victims of the Holocaust by teaching people worldwide about the deadly consequences of unchecked hate. |

Director, Survivor Affairs |
