Helga Gross was among 400,000 Germans sterilized under a Nazi law, passed #OTD in 1933, targeting people with disabilities. Watch her describe how she and other deaf students learned they would have a surgery so they couldn't "have children who would grow up and be deaf."

“They destroyed our religion by killing our religious scholars, our education by killing our teachers, and our economy by killing our businessmen and traders. They destroyed every aspect of our lives,” says #Rohingya man about #genocide in #Burma.

The history of the Holocaust shows that targeting an entire group has far-reaching consequences. It can lead to an increase in xenophobia, racism, and extremism throughout society.

Twenty five years ago, the world witnessed the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust—the genocide at #Srebrenica. Despite clear warning signs, more than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed. https://t.co/cyIO2UvOqI

"The living, too, need our witness." Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel reminds us of the power and necessity of bearing witness. “We must use our memory in order to help those whose memory is being threatened, whose life is being threatened."

Elie Wiesel died #OTD in 2016.

Because they raise difficult questions about who we are and who we want to be, national holidays are contested. Can a single day ever contain the diversity and the contradictions inherent in a nation? Is there even a “we” and an “us”? https://t.co/K65bgE8X3c

"We need freedom of research, freedom of speech, freedom of writing. We need a free society, where we can deal with the distortion of the Holocaust, in order to approach the truth as closely as we possibly can," says IHRA Honorary Chairman Yehuda Bauer #IHRAfromBerlin

Social media is a space to connect, share, and learn. It can also be a place where racist and antisemitic rhetoric and symbols can spread faster than ever before.

On #SocialMediaDay, learn about these symbols and why it's vital to combat their use online.https://t.co/x68MAIwFAJ

Exciting to see the building blocks put in place for our new cross-disciplinary #HumanRights Studies Program #igotokings @kingsatwestern

[IHRA @TheIHRA]

Much Holocaust-era documentation has been scattered or made inaccessible. The project "Monitoring Access to Holocaust Collections," will help to map the status and difficulties of accessing these documents, and raise awareness of the need for open access. #IHRAfromBerlin

Newly released and just arrived - important and timely study by renowned historian Robert Gellately. Essential for understanding the popular appeal of #racism , #antisemitism and #nationalism. Lessons and warnings for our own time. @OUPAcademic

We need a New Deal for history, a massive public spending program that will employ the army of superb historians out there (and train more of them) so that they can do their work at all levels, starting with K-12 education, through museums, archives, historic sites.../9
