Historical Context

The Holocaust, which ended in 1945, resulted in the deaths of six million Jews and countless others, prompting the establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Today, as antisemitism rises—evidenced by incidents in Germany increasing from 2,351 in 2020 to 6,236 in 2024—Holocaust education and remembrance remain crucial to combat hate and ensure history does not repeat itself.
