What's Happening?
In a global initiative marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, landmarks worldwide, including Germany's Reichstag and Israel's Azrieli Towers, were illuminated in yellow as part of the World Jewish Congress's #WeRemember campaign. This initiative,
now in its tenth year, aims to honor Holocaust victims and survivors by promoting awareness and education. The campaign has expanded through partnerships with organizations like UNESCO and tech platforms such as Meta and TikTok, directing users to educational resources about the Holocaust.
Why It's Important?
The widespread participation in the #WeRemember campaign highlights the global commitment to Holocaust education and the fight against anti-Semitism. By involving major landmarks and digital platforms, the initiative reaches a broad audience, reinforcing the message that hatred and indifference must be actively opposed. The campaign's growth reflects an increasing demand for reliable Holocaust education, crucial in a time when misinformation and anti-Semitic incidents are on the rise. This global effort underscores the importance of collective memory in preventing future atrocities.
