Quick Summary#

A campaign enables Holocaust survivors to return to Auschwitz to march and share their testimony with future generations. This initiative occurs at a critical time when their voices are essential in confronting rising antisemitism and hatred.

Survivors can provide firsthand accounts of historical events, ensuring that the lessons of the past are not forgotten. The program focuses on education and remembrance, allowing survivors to confront current hatred by sharing their experiences.

Support for this effort helps facilitate their travel and participation in commemorative events at the former concentration camp. By sharing their stories, survivors play a vital role in fighting antisemitism and preserving accurate historical memory for younger generations who may not have direct exposure to these events.

The Mission: Bearing Witness at Auschwitz#

The initiative focuses on enabling Holocaust survivors to physically return to Auschwitz, the site of immense historical significance. This journey allows survivors to march at the location where they once suffered, transforming it from a place of persecution to one of remembrance and resilience.

Survivors sharing their testimony at Auschwitz provides a powerful educational experience for younger generations. Their firsthand accounts serve as the most effective tool against Holocaust denial and distortion.

The program emphasizes that survivors' voices matter more than ever in the current climate of rising hatred. By confronting the physical location of past atrocities, survivors can directly address contemporary antisemitism.

Confronting Rising Hatred#

Rising antisemitism makes survivor testimony critically important. Survivors confronting hatred at this moment provides a moral imperative for society to remember and act.

The campaign addresses the urgent need to combat hatred through education and direct testimony. Survivors serve as living reminders of what happens when hatred goes unchecked.

By marching at Auschwitz and sharing their stories, survivors demonstrate resilience and provide a counter-narrative to those who would deny or minimize historical atrocities.

Preserving History for Future Generations#

Sharing testimony with next generations ensures that historical memory remains accurate and personal. Survivors provide context that textbooks cannot fully convey.

The program facilitates intergenerational dialogue about the Holocaust and its lessons. Young people who hear directly from survivors develop a deeper understanding of history and its contemporary relevance.

Preserving these stories requires active support to enable survivors to travel and participate in commemorative events. Each testimony contributes to a permanent record that can educate people for decades to come.

How Support Makes a Difference#

Support enables survivors to undertake the journey to Auschwitz and participate in commemorative activities. This includes logistical support for travel and accommodation.

Contributions directly facilitate the sharing of testimony and the educational mission of confronting hatred. The program relies on support to operate effectively.

By enabling this initiative, supporters help ensure that survivor voices continue to educate and inspire action against antisemitism and all forms of hatred.
