I don't know as much as I should about this topic, so I started looking for more information. I found a website that I wanted to share.
God bless Israel.

WJC President Ronald S. Lauder explains:
“The WJC has partnered with UNESCO in this critical Holocaust education project to pass the baton on to the young people of today, the future leaders of tomorrow. It is our duty to ensure that the six million Jews killed just for being Jewish will be remembered by all, and that the circumstances of their deaths will constantly remind us what can happen when we let hatred prevail.
It is saddening and disconcerting that 75 years after the end of World War II, roughly 50 percent of the world does not even know that the Holocaust occurred, or that Jews were targeted for genocide in Europe. We have seen a frightening rise in antisemitism and xenophobia in recent years, a reality that should sound alarm bells regarding the horrific potential consequences of such sentiments and actions.
We must never forget our past if we wish to create a better future. We are grateful and pleased to have UNESCO as our partner as we lead together on this important task.”
