In many countries it was found that as many as 48% of young adults, ages 18-24 don't know what the Holocaust was. Holocaust education through personal accounts of the atrocities is vanishing as survivors pass away. The ability to visit the sites where the atrocities occurred is prohibitively expensive for most of the descendants, and that's where Bearing Witness steps in.  We send descendants of Holocaust survivors to visit concentration camps, so that they may personally bear witness to the atrocities committed and keep the legacy of the survivors alive. We believe that their testimony is far more impactful than just reading about it, or learning about it in school. In fact 31 states have NO requirement to teach students about the Holocaust. 1 in 10 adults under the age of 40 surveyed didn't recall ever hearing the word Holocaust prior to being asked.  When surveyed 46% of Americans couldn't name a single concentration camp.  With the rise of antisemitism, it is now more critical than ever to ensure we educate people and uphold the solemn vow to "Never Forget" International Study about Holocaust Literacy: <a href="https://www.claimscon.org/country-survey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit" target="_blank">https://www.claimscon.org/country-survey/</a> SPLC Study on Holocaust Literacy: <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/holocaust-education-mixed-bag-us-schools/" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit" target="_blank">https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/holocaust-education-mixed-bag-us-schools/</a> As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, one of which being a three camp survivor (Auschwitz, KL Krottingen, and Stutthof) and another being a survivor of Mathausen, It is my passion to keep my family's legacy alive and uphold the promise I made to my grandmother that I would bear witness, ensure her story lived on, and ensure that we uphold the vow of Never Forget.
