On Holocaust Remembrance Day, UNESCO mobilizes governments and the private sector, including Facebook to fight denial and antisemitism
“Transmitting the history of the Holocaust is key to combatting current denial and conspiracy theories,” said UNESCO Director-General, Audrey Azoulay.
On the occasion of the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, which will be marked this Wednesday, UNESCO will announce a number of initiatives to combat denial and antisemitism, during a high-level ceremony organized with the United Nations, in partnership with the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IRHA).
UN Secretary-General António Guterres, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will participate.
