Bill at the United Nations

75 YEARS AGO

HITLER DID NOT WIN

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your ongoing encouragement and the many of you who supported us at the January 27th, 2020 United Nations 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the ending of the Second World War, and the end of the Holocaust. 2020 also marks the establishment of the United Nations, formed in response to atrocity crimes of the Holocaust, genocide, and the Second World War, to build a world that is just, and peaceful.

Judge Theodor Meron former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and Presiding Judge of the Appeals Chambers of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the ICTY was the keynote speaker.

This year’s theme, reflects the continued importance, 75 years after the Holocaust, of collective action against antisemitism, bigotry, intolerance, and other forms of bias to ensure respect for the dignity and human rights of all people everywhere.

Mr. Shraga Milstein, Holocaust survivor, shared his testimony. He is with his family, Israel Ambassador Danny Danon, Bill Tingling and others.

At Tour, for Tolerance (TFT), we believe that education is the key to creating positive change. We care, and each time an atrocity comes to an end, our collective conscience says, “never again,” but history repeats itself, often more brutally than before.

Together, we will put a stop to those who seek to deny and distort the facts of the Holocaust, and we will continue to replace propaganda with facts. Through education, we will end the viral spread of antisemitism, bigotry, and Holocaust denial on social media. We will hold world leaders accountable for their responsibility to keep their citizens safe.

These are some of the Soldiers of Valor who liberated thousands of people from Hitler's concentration camps. These Soldiers of Valor are still alive and we are working together in making our world a better place to live and to enjoy.

Throughout history, wars have raged because one person doesn’t look the same as another, worship the same, vote for the same leader, or call the same country home. Each time one of these atrocities comes to an end, our collective conscience says, “never again,” but history repeats itself, often more brutal than before.

Tolerance and diversity is under fierce social and political attacks. Coming to grips with what divides us is crucially needed today. Please join us at TFT as we work with our nation's youth to avoid the mistakes of the past and the mistakes that have yet to occur. That together, we can extend a hand to all of humanity, regardless of gender, race, faith, country of origin, economic status, or any of the distinctions used to diminish groups of people.

Ms. Irene Shashar Holocaust survivor, shared her testimonies.
