Claims Conference Launches “I Survived Auschwitz: Remember This” To Commemorate The 80th Anniversary Of The Liberation Of Auschwitz, The Extermination Camp Notorious For The Murder Of More Than 1.1 Million Jewish Men, Women And Children.

Before local anti-Jewish laws were enacted, before neighborhood shops and synagogues were destroyed, and before Jews were forced into ghettos, cattle cars, and camps, words were used to stoke the fires of hate. #ItStartedWithWords is a digital, Holocaust education campaign posting weekly videos of survivors from around the world reflecting on those moments that led up to the Holocaust – a period of time when they could not have predicted the ease with which their long-time neighbors, teachers, classmates, and colleagues would turn on them, transitioning from words of hate to acts of violence.

As part of the JFS at the JCC program, Jewish Family Service is offering a free program for Jewish survivors of the Holocaust to hear updates from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany on Thursday, May 11, at the Denver JCC, 350 S. Dahlia St.
