#HolocaustRemembranceDay

Axios notes:

Less than 250K Holocaust survivors remain worldwide, study finds​

​

The number of Holocaust survivors globally has dwindled to less than a quarter of a million, and many are struggling with poverty in their final years, a new demographic study has found.​

​

Why it matters: Child survivors — the last generation of the Holocaust — are aging as advocates race to record their testimonies and as rising antisemitism and misinformation threaten to erase their stories.​

Remember.

Oh I must remjnd my girlfriend about the 27th. She is visiting her jewish friend for Shabbat tomorrow (i envy the awesome food she gets).

I am interested in knowing what misinformation is being spread about the holocaust. I have known for years about claims that the amount of jews Hitler killed is deliberately over exaggerated or people conflating jews being successful in business with jews being behind all the problems of the world. Ironically, the claim about the exaggeration of jews killed was espoused by a former muslim colleague. A muslim friend of mine, who actually researches Islam and its history and doesnt parrot the popular salafi talking points, doesn't think jewish people are sinister at all, he even has jewish friends.
