Sonia Warshawski was a Jewish teenager in Poland when the German army invaded and she was deported to a death camp. Now in her nineties and the matriarch of a four-generation family, Sonia is a vibrant woman who speaks to students and prison inmates as a Holocaust survivor and Holocaust educator about her story of hope, resilience, and a refusal to hate.

15/ Support for Holocaust Education: Nearly 9 in 10 respondents, with particularly high support in the United States (95%), want Holocaust education to be strengthened. While this unanimity is positive, it could also reflect a social desirability bias, where respondents are reluctant to publicly dismiss such an important topic. #HolocaustEducation #WeRemember

Continued thread

11/ Knowledge of Victim Numbers: Many respondents underestimate the number of Holocaust victims. In Romania, for example, up to 28% believe that fewer than 2 million Jews were killed. This highlights significant educational gaps and may reflect local biases in how the Holocaust is taught or perceived. #HolocaustEducation #HistoricalFacts

Yes, we're aware of the discourse around AI-driven Anne Frank emulators.

In response, we implore teachers to use Holocaust Education materials that are accurate and authentic. It's important.

We'd also like to point out that we offer free Holocaust Education resources. The lesson plans based on award-winning films were all created by highly qualified experts. No AI was involved.

The celebration of Hanukkah continues. So I share this drawing of a menorah by Victor Tulman, done for Hella Tarnow while they were both prisoners in the Gurs internment camp in France. #Hanukkah #Chanukkah #art #holocaust #holocausteducation

From the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum: “Hella and Victor became engaged in the camp in 1941. Victor was sent to Camp Malaval for forced labor for some months and then left for the underground in France. He corresponded with Hella for the duration of the war sending letters by way a Protestant minister in Switzerland by the name of Lauterbourg. They sent him the letters not knowing where the other person was. Victor was not deported as he was Hungarian (and Hungary was not invaded until March 1944). When Gurs was closed, Hella was sent back to Germany for forced labor and then taken to the Ravensbrueck concentration camp in November 1943. After liberation Hella and Victor reunited with the help of the Swiss Pastor Lauterbourg. Hella converted to Judaism, and she and Victor married in Paris in 1949. Their daughter Paloma was born in Paris in 1952. Victor David Tulman died in 1987. Paloma with her mother Hella immigrated to Israel in 1989. Hella died in December, 2008 and is buried with her husabnd in the Mount of Olives cemetery.”

From the Gurs Camp Memorial Museum, explaining the text: ‘When Chanukah came, I drew a candlestick with eight lights on a white sheet and wrote for Hella Tarnow: "Light must enlighten us! We want to be the messengers of light! Let us act around the light, let us place ourselves under its law! You and I who are in the darkness, we want the light to shine everywhere... In the service of the light.”’
