MIDEAST-JERUSALEM-HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
NEW YORK (AP) — Holocaust survivors across the world are uniting to deliver a message on the dangers of unchecked hate and the importance of remembrance at a time of rising global antisemitism.
The video was released Thursday by the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany to mark Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day. The video includes 100 Holocaust survivors who ask people to stand with them and remember the Nazi genocide to avoid repeating the horrors of the past.
About 6 million European Jews and millions of other people were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators. The annual remembrance known as Yom HaShoah is one of the most solemn on Israel’s calendar.
