Official Websites and Organizations

Holocaustremembrance.com

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) address issues related to the Holocaust and the genocide of Roma people. Several hundred thousand Romani, also known as gypsies, were systematically exterminated during the Holocaust, which they call the Porajmos, “the Devouring.”

Ilholocaustmuseum.org

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center provides educational programs and events for students to learn about the impact of antisemitism, the Holocaust, and genocide.

Wiesenthal.org

The Simon Wiesenthal Center defends Israel and Jewish people around the world, promotes relationships with elected officials, and combats antisemitism and hate. Simon Wiesenthal was a renowned Nazi hunter. He founded the Jewish Historical Documentation Center after WWII to help locate and prosecute Nazis who participated in atrocities against the Jewish people. He provided the information that led to the location, capture, and prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi responsible for organizing the deportation and systematic murder of 1.5 million Jews during the Holocaust.

Jewishpartisans.org

JPEH provides educational materials, including films, about Jews in Eastern and Western Europe. Partisan groups fought the Nazis in nearly every country of Europe. Many Jewish partisans were young men and women who hid in forests, swamps, and mountains to conduct resistance, spying, sabotage, and scouting, as well as rescuing vulnerable Jews, including children. These courageous Jews, many of them only teens, were sometimes joined by young Gentiles. Together, these small partisan groups blew up supply trains, power plants, factories, and other vital Nazi military targets.

Although often sparsely armed, partisans were daring rescuers willing to die protecting the vulnerable. Partisans relied on local civilians to provide food and information about Nazi movements. They effectively used cover of darkness, the element of surprise, local connections with civilians, youthful zeal, and familiarity with local terrain as advantages in their fight against the Nazis.

Candlesholocaustmuseum.org

The CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center was founded in Terre Haute, Indiana by Eva Mozes Kor in 1995. The mission of CANDLES is to educate the public about the Holocaust to prevent hatred and prejudice. An arsonist burned the first museum to the ground in 2003. Eva’s willingness to forgive the Nazis, especially Dr. Mengele, who conducted horrific “medical research” on Eva and her twin sister, Miriam, as well as 1,600 other twins, has been the focus of documentaries, books, lectures, and Holocaust education around the world. Her incredible journey is documented in the acclaimed documentary, Forgiving Dr. Mengele.

Bluesquarealligance.org

Founded by in 2023 by Robert Kraft, entrepreneur, investor, CEO of the Kraft Group, which owns the New England Patriots NFL team, and philanthropist. The mission of Blue Square Alliance Against Hate is to engage and educate Americans about Jew hatred in our society by equipping people to address the alarming rise in Jewish hate, and to oppose all hate in our nation.

Root-source.com

Root Source unites Jews and Christians by engaging, encouraging, and enriching relationships between pro-Israel Christians and Jews based on mutual respect and love. Orthodox Jews and Christians engage in discussion and learning about Jewish concepts, ideas, and thinking to better understand the roots of the Christian faith, “to reverse two thousand years of animosity and conflict.”

Please consider sponsoring a Holocaust survivor’s story. Each Holocaust survivor has a story. But who will carry it forward? As the years go by, the horrors of the Holocaust stay with us. While six million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis and their collaborators, some five million survived, mostly moving to the United States and to Israel. Nature has taken its course, and only some two hundred thousand survivors are still alive, the youngest among them over 80 years old. We Must Not Forget is a new program of Root Source dedicated to connecting people to individual Holocaust survivors through the publication of their life stories for the first time in English.
