On International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau liberation, the JFCS Holocaust Center in San Francisco emphasizes education amidst rising anti-Semitism. With a vast archive, the center aims to preserve survivor stories and promote empathy. Director Morgan Blum Schneider underscores the importance of remembering the resilience of Holocaust witnesses. The center is hosting training for over 40 school districts to educate educators on teaching about the Holocaust, fostering courage and social awareness among students to combat hate.
We look at just a significant increase in the experience that our students are living in California classrooms on the receiving end of incidents of hate, specifically anti-Semitism.
When we think about what do we want to remember at this 80 year anniversary-that's the stories of these witnesses, the courage, the resilience and how we as humans every day can be more empathetic and socially courageous.
