It is our duty to keep the knowledge of the Holocaust alive so it never happens.
>By April 1945, as the Nazi regime was collapsing, fate brought Roth and Moran together. On April 11, inmates began to overtake the camp as the guards fled. U.S. forces arrived soon after and liberated the area. 21,000 inmates remained. 900 of them were children. Roth said the experience of liberation was "unreal, unbelievable." Though he was born in September, he now celebrates April 11 as his birthday. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing — how man can seem so mean to his fellow human being," said Moran.
>"By and large, knowledge of the Holocaust is decreasing," said Williams, who previously worked for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, "even in some of the countries responsible for the crimes of the Holocaust."
>Skepticism of such institutions of international cooperation have gained political traction. Authoritarian governments, such as Viktor Orban's in Hungary, have won power and undermined civil liberties. In Germany, leaders of the far-right political party Alternativ für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany), or AfD, have decried what they call a "cult of guilt" around the Holocaust, and questioned the country's continued reckoning with Nazi-era crimes. In the U.S., members of the Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have expressed support for the AfD.
