@UNESCO is the only @UN agency with a specific mandate to promote Holocaust education to combat antisemitism. @ECAatState will provide a Fulbright Specialist expert in the field of Holocaust education to counter hate amid the dramatic surge in antisemitism and Holocaust denial

Our individual choices CAN change someone else's fate. The three Holocaust survivors I was privileged to meet at @JHGCentre with Centre director @TaliNates , were each saved by someone who chose to do the right thing: disobey an order, hide a toddler, rescue a child. #Respect .

This student's comment after visiting the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre is the kind of reaction we all hope for. Today I saw the great work @JHGCentre does teaching students not only about the Holocaust but also the Rwandan Genocide & their own South African history.

Turnabout is fair play! Young music students at the impressive Masibambane School gave me a lesson on playing the marimba, and I spoke to a class that was learning about the Holocaust. @Ed_Africa does amazing work trying to alleviate poverty through education. @USEmbassySA

After excellent meetings here in Johannesburg with Jewish community members, and terrific conversations with middle and high school students, I visited the powerful Memorial to the Six Million. What a statement of both sorrow and strength. @USEmbassySA

The challenges and opportunities of new technologies show why we need to teach both the facts of the Holocaust and critical thinking, so students can learn to distinguish distortion from reality. I was honored to give the closing keynote at the @CTHGCentre conference today.

Education is not enough. We have to teach resilience and empathy too. Thought-provoking discussions at today's session of the @CTHGCentre conference on Holocaust and Genocide Education. Plus a visit to the beautiful Gardens Synagogue during a break! @USConsulateCT

Calling out the “protesters” who damaged the Anne Frank statue in Amsterdam.  Anne is a symbol of courage and goodness in the face of horror. Defacing her memorial is vandalism, not protest.

„Kto nie pamięta historii, skazany jest na jej ponowne przeżycie” - słowa George’a Santayana umieszczone przy wejściu do bloku 4 Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz są potężnym przesłaniem i przestrogą dla ludzkości. Szczególnie mocno wybrzmiewają dzisiaj, w 80. rocznicę

As we honor the thousands of Roma murdered at Auschwitz 80 years ago, let’s stand against hatred and bigotry. Let’s build societies that protect and value all citizens. Let's work together to end racism and the marginalization of Roma and Sinti. @USEmbassyWarsaw @USConsKrakow
