Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust teaches us that we must learn to recognize the signs of genocide and do everything within our power to prevent such terrible suffering from happening. We join with people around the world in mourning all victims of genocide and standing firmly against the violence of genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and political persecution. Even today, many of the expert institutions and supranational organizations tasked with preventing genocide––like the International Court of Justice and the Lemkin Institute––officially recognize multiple genocides currently taking place across the world. As people working in recovery, we know the impact of trauma is lifelong and intergenerational. Let’s work together to support people experiencing and recovering from the horrors of genocide, ensure we can recognize genocides when they’re happening, and organize as a global community prevent such terrible suffering from occurring.

Today, we honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945, and remembering the six million Jewish victims and millions of others who perished in the Holocaust. This day, designated by the United Nations, serves not only as a memorial but as a crucial reminder of our collective responsibility to combat antisemitism, hatred, and genocide in all forms. As we face rising antisemitism and intolerance globally, it's more important than ever to learn from history, share survivors' stories, and stand united against prejudice and discrimination. The Holocaust teaches us that silence in the face of injustice is complicity – let us honor the memory of those lost by speaking out against hate and working together to build a more just and inclusive world.    At Pyramid Consulting, you Belong:IN!       #IntentionallyInclusive #diversityequityandinclusion #HolocaustRemembranceDay 

It must never happen again! Today #WeRemember and pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust. It is also a day to remember that the fight to get rid of antisemitism is ongoing: Last year we analyzed major media and politicians’ Facebook pages in Denmark between May 2021 and May 2023. It showed that between one out ten comments about Jews were antisemitic. In other words, that antisemitism is widespread in the public debate. In my mind, it doesn’t reflect the views of most Danes but it shows us that we cannot leave our public spaces on social media to be shaped by hate. Let’s use this Holocaust Remembrance Day to remind ourselves never to accept antisemitism and hate against minorities – and speak out against it when we see it on social media.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that commemorates the Holocaust, which was a genocide of six million Jews and one of the most horrific attack on humankind. The last 478 days has been the most difficult period in my life to be Jewish. In the United States, there was a 288% increase in antisemitic incidents, peaking in April 2024, according to The Times of Israel (https://lnkd.in/e3SP4TfG). The Anti-Defamation League and Ipsos found that nearly half of all people worldwide (46%) hold elevated levels of antisemitic attitudes (https://lnkd.in/eCNruWrQ). The survey also found that 20% of respondents worldwide have not heard about the Holocaust, and 48% recognize the Holocaust’s historical accuracy (39% among 18-34-year-olds). Read more about this in CNN here: https://lnkd.in/eRuUDjrt. Growing up I spent time listening to the stories of multiple Holocaust survivors. Today is more important than ever to elevate and share their stories, and show your Jewish pride. We are a resilient, strong group of people. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the millions of lives lost during one of history’s darkest chapters. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the catastrophic consequences of hatred, prejudice, and unchecked violence. The image of this yellow butterfly above barbed wire evokes hope, resilience, and the enduring human spirit amid unimaginable suffering. But as we reflect on the past, we cannot ignore the present. Around the world, wars continue to ravage communities, and acts of hatred and intolerance persist. Holocaust Remembrance Day is not only about looking back; it is also a call to action. It’s a moment to recognize that the fight against hatred, division, and violence is far from over. Let us remember the lessons of history and commit to creating a world where peace, understanding, and compassion prevail, not just for one day but every day. “One Spring” — Gurs Camp, 1941 — By Karl Robert Bodek and Kurt Conrad Löw #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverForget #PeaceForAll”
