On #HolocaustMemorialDay it is not enough to simply say "We must never forget" or to say "Never Again", we must be active and enduring in our battle against anti-semitism, Islamophobia, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ethno-nationalism, & overall hatred.
The best way to honour the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and all genocides is to take action. I want to know how you will contribute to the fight against hatred and the global fight for human rights. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
I've mentioned before that I have fairly recently started talking to my daughter about the Holocaust and the Bosnian Genocide too. We started incorporating the Native American Genocide, Genocide against the Tutsis, the ongoing genocides happening currently in the world.
These conversations have led me from just speaking to my daughter to also speaking to her school and classmates, her friends, and even neighbours. Our kids will know more and when they know more, they can strive to do better than we did.
Are you talking to your kids about racism, anti-semitism, genocides, and hatred?
If not, it's a good time to start sharing educational content with them.
Talk to your family, your friends, your community. You may be just one person but Anne Frank was one person too.

We have more information now, than ever before. We have social media, books galore, essays and articles and photos and videos and google at our fingertips. We can learn more, we can be better, we can do better. We have to.
Our children shouldn't suffer due to hatred.

What I want most is to ensure that my child and your children too, grow up in a healthy, equal, and peaceful society. I don't want their childhoods destroyed as mine was by genocide. I don't want them to suffer the way Anne Frank did for her identity. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
