AI is reshaping Holocaust memory- fast. As deep-fakes & AI images multiply, the line between true & false becomes increasingly blurred.  AI can amplify memory or distort it; the difference is human stewardship. What do you think-helpful tool or dangerous shortcut?

Recently Yad Vashem reached a milestone in Holocaust remembrance: the identification of 5 million names of victims. Through extensive research in archives, sourcing family histories, and the use of AI tech, they have ensured those lost are not only numbers but names & legacies.

#DidYouKnow? In 1942, Nazi sculptor Arno Breker hand-selected granite blocks that would be used to create a monument to the Nazi’s victory in WWII. However, after the Nazis lost the War in 1945, Polish-Jewish sculptor Nathan Rapaport repurposed these exact same materials.

We believe that we must teach about the lessons of the Holocaust to build a future of tolerance. This includes understanding how hateful rhetoric can turn into deadly violence.

We were horrified and saddened to learn of the murders of two Jewish young adults outside of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC last night. This targeted violence is yet another terrible act that is rooted in antisemitism in our country.
