2022 #WeRemember Campaign for International Holocaust Remembrance Day - Michael Bornstein

NEW YORK – In the leadup to International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, the World Jewish Congress has launched its seventh annual #WeRemember campaign, to learn from the past and protect the future.  

The WJC initiative, which takes place Jan. 20 through Jan. 27, seeks to educate people about the Holocaust and preserve its memory, specifically as antisemitism continues to surge worldwide. At the campaign’s core is people writing the words “We Remember” on a sheet of paper, taking a photograph and then sharing it on social media, using the hashtag #WeRemember. 

The #WeRemember campaign will symbolically end on Jan. 27, at the site of the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Photographs of participants in the campaign will be showcased on a screen erected next to the infamous Auschwitz gate and cattle car, as a testament to the Jewish people’s survival in the face of adversity.
