The Holocaust teaches us how hatred can infect a society. In Nazi Germany, many groups were targeted, including gay men. The recent attack on an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado should concern us all.

We stand with the Ukrainian people and condemn the continued Russian attacks on innocent lives. Russia’s distortion of the Holocaust as a pretext to invasion and today’s damage inflicted on #BabynYar are grave threats to Holocaust memory. ushmm.org/information/press/…

Vladimir Putin has misrepresented and misappropriated Holocaust history by claiming falsely that democratic Ukraine needs to be “denazified.” We strongly condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine and are concerned about threats to civilians and loss of life. ushmm.org/information/press/…

At the #Olympics you’ll see a well-known tradition—the torch relay—which the Nazis used at the 1936 Olympics for propaganda purposes. Today, we witness how the Olympics can still be used to distract from atrocities, such as the persecution of the #Uyghurs.
