Carl,
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we honor the innocent victims of Nazi persecution. This includes sharing the stories of survivors such as Ruth Cohen, who was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau with her family. Her mother and brother were murdered shortly after arrival.
I am asking you to honor Ruth, her family, and the millions of victims whose lives were destroyed during the Holocaust. One way you can do this is by helping us promote Holocaust education throughout the world.
Watch her testimony and then make a gift to the Museum today to help us teach people across the world the lessons that are desperately needed right now. |
| | Today, antisemitic hate is erupting across the country and around the world. Jews have faced threats, insults, and violence in the places where they live, work, and go to school, as well as online where antisemitism and dangerous propaganda spread rapidly.
Pervasive hate like we are witnessing creates an environment of intimidation for all Jews, but it is especially devastating for Holocaust survivors who have experienced the consequences of antisemitism. These individuals have demonstrated incredible strength in their lifetimes, and they continue to do so today. But theirs cannot be the only voices against hatred.
Your gift will help ensure the Museum can continue protecting and teaching Holocaust history and sharing the messages of survivors, such as Ruth. The current antisemitic environment demands more than we’ve ever done before. We must teach this urgent lesson of the past: hatred may start with the Jews, but it rarely stops there.
Carl, your support on International Holocaust Remembrance Day ensures the stories of survivors and victims will never be forgotten. Make a gift today. |
