I’m planning to take my kid to #auschwitz next year when he turns 18. It would also be his introduction to #judaism. Does #jewish Masto know if #yomhashoah is a good time for this?

Today for the first time ever, the Polish, Israeli and German heads of state come together to commemorate the #Warsaw #GhettoUprising. International attention is high, but underneath this celebrated political milestone lie great tensions, ranging from historical censorship to the claim to the moral high ground.

In observance of #YomHaShoah, #ADL held a webinar today that showed the 1953 episode of This is Your Life, featuring #Holocaust survivor Hanna Bloch Kohner. Broadcast 8 years after the end of #WWII, the show narrated Hanna's experiences during the Holocaust and reunited her with people she knew before, during, and after. Hanna's daughter, Julie Kohner, has been an educator for more than 30 years, creating educational programs that honor Holocaust victims and survivors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ckFEnn5Bo

For Yom HaShoah, I strongly recommend you take the time to read Dara Horn's excellent book, People Love Dead Jews, and to listen to her companion podcast linked here.

Horn puts to words what, I think, is a common experience for many Jews - the struggle in reconciling a joyous and enriching identity with a long history of oppression and suffering, and the image of Jewish people to gentiles as both a dead culture and a symbol purely of perpetual suffering.

We should remember every name & learn about the #history but we also need to confront our idea of mankind with the remains and stories of #Auschwitz. We should remember about this tragedy in oder to create better, safer and more responsible #future.

In commemoration of #YomHaShoah and the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the Orthodox Union’s Southern NCSY brought the Hate Ends Now exhibit “The Cattle Car: Stepping In and Out of Darkness” to Times Square on Tuesday.

Spend #YomHaShoah with our seven-episode series diving into the backstory of the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play and Oscar-winning film, "The Diary of Anne Frank."

“How can we say ‘never again,’” Sarah Zarrow asks for #YomHaShoah in a new opinion for the Forward, when we “see the Holocaust as an instrument for teaching a general morality, rather than a serious object of inquiry?”

Here's the morning's news... 🧵

#YomHaShoah
#HolocaustRemembranceDay

Sit down in a quiet place, and take a moment to think about and reflect upon the approximately six million #Jews murdered in the #Holocaust by #NaziGermany and its collaborators, and for the #JewishResistance in that period. Think about what you would do/are doing to make sure it never happens again

Before he died, my father asked me and my siblings if we remembered the number on his arm from Auschwitz.

The number we saw on his arm every day of our lives.

In unison, we said 124053 💔

This was one of the big takeaways I have gathered from survivor stories. Personal ones, loved ones, friends, community members, but also stories from the Shoah foundation and other groups that gathered stories.

Pre-Holocaust, it was understood that when Jews were killed, blamed for everything from disappearances, failing crops, ill livestock to, deaths, the goal was to keep their head down and not make noise.

The Shoah was an outgrowth of these... spasms. They all connected them.

For #YomHashoah, if I could highlight just one important fact, it would be this: The Shoah was the expression of German sentiment as policy.

It did not arrive as a foreign element, introduced by Nazis as a top-down policy to a problem nobody had. It was a German populace, a European populace, that tried neighbourhood-wide solutions for their problem and was taking policy recommendations for handling their it.

The Shoah is not a government run amock, but humanity run amock.

I just wrote a short ditty about why our parents are so meshugah (and why we are too).
