Simcha Pasko reports on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which this year marks 80 years since Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation, as global antisemitism continues to rise. Survivors, dignitaries, and leaders honored the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust, with only 50 survivors attending this year compared to 300 at the 70th anniversary.

That creates risks: the Holocaust didn’t begin with mass murder. The dehumanization of Jews progressed gradually from public exclusion to eventual internment to finally extermination. Millions of regular Germans—and Europeans more broadly—facilitated or silently accepted these actions.
