A beautiful recap of a special evening in commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, "Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust" On January 27, 2026, ARCHER at House 88 & @FightExtremism presented a landmark concert of works composed in the ghettos and death camps. These works were composed with dignity more than eighty years ago. We play them today in defiance of a resurgent global antisemitism. archer.counterextremism.com/enduring-music/

Absolutely beautiful, emotional words in solidarity with the Jewish people from Mersedeh Shahinkar, blinded in one eye by the brutal Iranian regime—the world's leading state sponsor of antisemitism. Must watch @kencen. "And tonight, as I listen to the music performed here, as Iranians we stand with the Jewish people together in a shared struggle against hate–with courage, dignity, and defiance."

"In the face of the worst human horrors, beautiful minds and souls created music—music with dignity and resilience, defiance and hope. So today I ask you not only to remember, but to honor those we remember with interference. It is a powerful riposte to today’s antisemitism." Ambassador @mark_d_wallace’s opening remarks at “Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust" @kencen

One year ago today, ARCHER at House 88 opened it's doors to all. The mezuzah we placed on the doorpost of the former home of the Commandant of Auschwitz was the beginning of our journey to confront not just the consequences of antisemitism and extremism, but the quiet, everyday mechanisms that allow people to rationalize, normalize, and ultimately encourage it. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

Tonight—in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day—the Counter Extremism Project & ARCHER at House 88 present “Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust” featuring world-renowned musicologist Francesco Lotoro.

81 years after Auschwitz was liberated, antisemitic attacks surge globally. This is why I support @FightExtremism's @ARCHERatHouse88 initiative—transforming the commandant's house at Auschwitz into a center fighting hate. From despair, we build hope.

The Islamic State's global presence, propaganda output, and online ecosystem have evolved significantly since its final territorial loss in March 2019. But the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel was another significant inflection point. 👇 Sean McCafferty discusses key themes on the #CEPerspectives podcast redcircle.com/shows/da0a42b9…

The Music That Survived the Holocaust Francesco Lotoro has spent his life recovering the music written by Jews in ghettos, camps, and gulags — symphonies, lullabies, and songs composed in the shadow of death. On January 27, at the Kennedy Center, he will bring this music to the world in a concert for ARCHER: a testament that even in the darkest places, the human spirit refused to be erased. @WSJopinion wsj.com/opinion/the-mu…
