This campaign reaches beyond survivors and their families, providing a moment in time when each of us can take on the extraordinary responsibility of keeping individual stories alive and ensuring future generations learn about and understand the lessons of the Holocaust. Many survivors do not have children and even for those who do, the awesome weight of carrying this testimony can be and should be shared. The campaign demonstrates the importance of passing on survivor testimonies. In closing, family members make a pledge to remember, ensuring these stories continue. Our Holocaust Story features short videos of Holocaust survivors and family members sharing personal testimonies of persecution and survival. Only then can we truly say, 'never again.'" Collectively, these stories tell the history of the Shoah, a history we must preserve and share. By passing these stories on within their family, they make certain their story continues and the lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten. Gideon Taylor, President of the Claims Conference, said, "Each survivor has a poignant and unique story to tell of survival. The campaign illustrates the importance of passing on the stories of the Holocaust so future generations can learn from past atrocities.
