Holocaust denial is not just a lie. It is a tool of ideological hatred, spread today primarily through social media. Its aim is the systematic erasure of the truth about the greatest crime in the history of Europe. Thanks to the new “Stop Denial” tool, everyone can now easily take meaningful action to defend historical truth and the dignity of the victims of Auschwitz.

“A decade or two ago, few people would have dared look Holocaust Survivors in the eyes and coldly claim that all their testimonies were lies. Today, there are very few of them left. And so antisemitic, xenophobic, and populist voices grow louder, trying to profit from lies. Let us show that we are greater in number, that truth is stronger. Together, we can stop their hateful words,” said Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, Director of the Museum and initiator of the “Stop Denial” campaign.

On the dedicated “Stop Denial” website - https://t.co/ZcHojqjlhf - we have prepared a collection of materials that clearly debunk the most common lies propagated by deniers regarding the history of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz.

The assembled documents, photographs, eyewitness accounts, and historical research results demonstrate, step by step, the nature of these falsehoods and manipulations. They equip anyone with tools to respond effectively and accurately to Holocaust denial.

“Fighting deniers online is extremely difficult work, because those who deny the Holocaust ignore all available facts and endlessly repeat the same lies. Their goal is not the search for truth, but the desecration of the memory of the victims,” said Dr. Igor Bartosik of the Museum’s Research Center, author of the online lesson on denialist strategies which served as the foundation for the “Stop Denial” campaign (see the lesson: https://t.co/Gp1iuaHSSW).

We just broke an all-time record—not just for DealMaker, but for our entire industry.

We processed over $100 MILLION in investments this March—by far the most capital any single platform has brought in in a single month.

The news is already making waves. Yesterday, @HubtasTech wrote:

“The new king of crowdfunding? With this milestone, DealMaker has almost certainly claimed the crown…”

We’re incredibly proud of this achievement—not just the capital raised, but the 42,221 investors who claimed their seat at the table this month by investing in the brands they love.

Of course, the real crown belongs to our customers, who continue to build, innovate, and create opportunity while raising capital on their own terms.
