Holocaust Commemoration: Wannsee Conference, List of Holocaust Memorials and Museums, Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust | 
Thinking on #holocaustmemorialday about how reading, writing and sharing stories even a long time afterwards is an important part of bearing witness when terrible things happen, and helping stop them ever happening again.
I read a news story today saying 1/20 British people don‘t think the Holocaust actually happened. Don‘t even have the words to respond to that rn.

TrishB It affected me in the same way too 💔 6y

julesG I did research in one of the concentration camps. I had my hands on case files. I cannot forget this, ever. I cannot make it unread. And I still feel disturbed just typing this. It is a terrible chapter in the history of my country. People saying it never happened enrage me. 6y

Christine11 I was so shocked to read that today too. It makes no sense to me that there are so many people who can deny it happened 😔 6y
Itchyfeetreader I have seen this report quoted a few times today. I does not diminish my shock, confusion and sadness. 6y
Weaponxgirl Anyone who thinks that needs to be taken to all the historical sites and made to sit and watch survivor testimony for 24 hours at least. That breaks my 💔 6y
youneverarrived That‘s so true. And how do some people not believe it happened?! 😔💔 6y
Emilymdxn @TrishB it‘s always a deeply affecting day but I didn‘t realise how much denial there was until today - I thought it was just nutty conspiracy theorists 6y
Emilymdxn @Cinfhen I haven‘t seen that hashtag before but I really like it 6y
Emilymdxn @julesG that sounds like such an intense experience, I‘m impressed that you did that. I would like to go to aushwitz one day and see it with my own eyes. I hope that collective desire to remember, empathise and educate can overcome denial and new fascism, I really hope so. 6y
Emilymdxn @Christine11 me too I really want to read more research on where these beliefs come from as I just dont understand it 6y
Emilymdxn @Itchyfeetreader it makes an intense, horrible day even worse you‘re absolutely right. I keep thinking people like that can‘t shock me anymore but I‘m always wrong 6y
Emilymdxn @Weaponxgirl I have no idea how our education system failed this much, it horrified me 6y
Emilymdxn @youneverarrived I just don‘t understand it, I hope more research comes out on how this happened 6y
TrishB I think people choose not to believe. It‘s definitely not the education system this time, unless they literally didn‘t go to school. Both my kids did a lot of work on the Holocaust, from lots of perspectives. This is nasty, horrible people choosing. 6y
Cinfhen https://wjc.weremember.info/ Info about the #WeRemember campaign 💕 6y
Emilymdxn @TrishB that‘s interesting, as I didn‘t study a word on the holocaust at school really - we did the rise of nazism but nothing much about what Hitler did once he was in power, so I thought maybe other schools were like that, but it‘s an even more depressing thought if people have been educated about it 6y
Emilymdxn @Cinfhen thank you for sending that‘s really interesting I wish I‘d come across it earlier! 6y
Cinfhen Pleasure!!! I only know because my son‘s HS participated last year and this year for the #WeRemember campaign (edited) 6y
TrishB Thanks Cindy ❤️ will use on fb post! @Cinfhen 6y
TrishB My daughter was actually the first to say something about the news report today. She said she‘s done it every year from 11-16. In history, politics, RE and PSHE. 6y
Cinfhen You‘re wonderful 😘thank you @TrishB 6y
TrishB @cinfhen 😘 Alice Hoffman put a lovely post up too on fb x 6y
