Today is the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. It reminds us of our duty to remember the six million victims, to educate people about the history of the genocide, and to combat antisemitism. UNESCO is the UN agency specifically mandated to promote Holocaust and genocide education. We work with strategic partners to develop values to prevent future atrocities. In the era of the internet, AI, and social media, denial and distortion of history is prevalent than ever. We can counter this through #education and create a future where hate has no place.

January 27 was chosen because it is the day the Red Army freed the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. Tragically, since Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, there has been an unprecedented rise in antisemitism, Holocaust distortion, and Holocaust denial around the world. Seven years ago, as a rabbi in Silicon Valley, I spoke at San Jose City Hall for International Holocaust Day about The Consequences of Indifference and the Danger of Contemporary Anti-Semitism. Events in recent years have made this message even more relevant. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7419434329774366720/
Maybe there will be a commemoration day as well for all the Palestinians murdered by bombing, starvation, illness and hunger. Maybe one day, maybe... The world will recognise and acknowledge this
But the fact is the same race did more damage to the race who had nothing to do with holocaust,,, burnt real time human in most devastating manner… how sad is when we see justice for our race and brutality for others!!!
Education is vital for eradicating hatred and restoring our shared humanity, but only if it reaches the audience timely. Acknowledging past genocides is essential for raising awareness in our generation. Yet we see that ongoing genocides persist without any major global action. To change future perspectives, we need to pair remembrance with awareness and timely action.
Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe. — Elie Wiesel

In a digital age where misinformation travels faster than facts, Holocaust education is more urgent than ever. WALE UNIVERSITY stands with UNESCO in affirming that education remains our strongest defence against historical distortion, antisemitism, and the repetition of violence.
40,000 people have been killed by the hand of the Islamic regime... The government shut down the Internet so no one finds out. Please be our voice.
Remembering the victims and the importance of learning from history.
🤍Sadly, today we are witnessing similar atrocities in Iran. As Iranians, and as global citizens who care about human rights, we are deeply concerned about the ongoing brutal violence against innocent people. Remembering the Holocaust should also remind us of our responsibility to stand against injustice everywhere .not only in history, but in the present.
