At the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance’s annual Yom Hashoah
commemoration in Los Angeles, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and
Global Social Action Director warned of the dangers of growing Holocaust
denial around the world.
A new study released on Yom Hashoah found that 22% of millenials said
they haven’t heard of the Holocaust and that two-thirds didn’t know what
Auschwitz was.
“This just goes to show the world forgets easily, and we pay a dear price for not remembering,” Rabbi Marvin Hier, SWC founder and dean of the told Religion News Service from Jerusalem, adding that the survey shows the importance of historical memory and teaching and “the importance of institutions that keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.”
