Dear World Jewish Congress friend,
As the last generation of Shoah survivors pass their legacy of remembrance to us, we have a sacred responsibility to keep their memories alive and ensure the truth about the Holocaust is told.
But right now, 1 in 5 young Americans believes the Holocaust is a “myth” — and almost half of French youth do not know about the Holocaust at all. Across the globe, younger people are now more likely to demonstrate antisemitic attitudes than older adults.
The lack of factual Holocaust education, and the disinformation and propaganda that replaces that void, is a crucial challenge to be faced as we are battling a global surge in Jew-hatred. And dangerous ignorance among our youth makes the need for enhanced Holocaust education more evident and urgent than ever before.
That is why the World Jewish Congress is urgently working to promote Holocaust education as a critically important component in the fight against the global surge of antisemitism. But we need your help to power our efforts and amplify our voice.
Never forget. Never again!
World Jewish Congress
