General Assembly resolution 60\/7 designated January 27th as International Holocaust Remembrance Day in order to ensure the world would not forget or replicate the suffering caused by the Nazis\u2019 acts of genocide in the 1940s. The day also seeks to commemorate the 6,000,000 Jewish and 5,000,000 non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust. In brief, the Holocaust (or Shoah as it is also known) sought to eliminate people deemed inferior to the Aryan race, including Jewish people, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ folks. German Chancellor Adolph Hitler was able to gain support for his ideas around genocide, racial purity, and the superiority of the Germanic race largely due to the economic failure of Germany at the time, as well as the disenchantment of World War One (WWI) veterans who made up the majority of Hitler\u2019s army, also known as the Sturmabteilung SA, or later, the S.S. Jewish people were specifically blamed for the economic collapse of Germany since they \u201crepresented everything the Nazis found repugnant: finance capitalism (controlled, the Nazis believed, by powerful Jewish financiers), international communism (Karl Marx was a German Jew, and the leadership of the German Communist Party was heavily Jewish), and modernist cultural movements like psychoanalysis and swing music.\u201d Thus, the Nazi persecution of Jewish Europeans began.\u00a0 By the end of World War Two (WWII) in 1945, two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe was murdered and the remainder abused, displaced, tortured, and traumatized. It\u2019s important to note that nearly eight decades later, the Holocaust still impacts millions of people around the world. Many victims of the Holocaust are still alive, and current and future generations face harrowing stories and transgenerational trauma. Impacts of the Holocaust can be observed in day-to-day life via the large concentration of Jewish populations in the United States -- one country to which many European Jews fled post-WWII -- the near-existinction of the Yiddish language, and many Jewish people\u2019s continued connection to the state of Israel, which served as a safe haven for many Holocaust survivors. Below you\u2019ll find some tips to help you support your colleagues impacted by Holocaust Remembrance Day. Acknowledge history. Educate yourself on the history of the Holocaust, including the sometimes overlooked truth that it started with hate-mongering, not concentration camps. It\u2019s important to recognize not only that the Holocaust occured, but why and how. Understanding the facts about what happened is undoubtedly crucial to memorializing the millions of people who were killed, but understanding why and how it happened helps to prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future. Recognize that antisemitism is still very much a problem. In fact, antisemitism acts have risen 12% in the United States since last year, a record high since 1979. If a colleague comes to you with reports of experiencing or witnessing antisemitism, take them seriously and act immediately to report the situation according to company policy. Also, make sure the targeted individual is safe and has the time they need to cope with what occurred. Welcome stories from employees of Jewish heritage or descent. You may consider hosting an open forum for employees to talk about their ancestors, or highlight survivors of the Holocaust in your internal newsletter or on social media. Make sure these stories are shared voluntarily and authentically. One great example, written by Eric Galton, can be found on our website. Finally, offer flexibility around this time. Some employees may find it difficult to focus as this holiday approaches. Practice responding with compassion and understanding, offering flex hours or work-from-home days when possible. Try to avoid scheduling critical meetings on the 27th to allow employees the space they may need to grieve, reflect, and honor Jewish life.
