These atrocities reminded the world that anti-Semitic anger spread through Adolf Hitler’s far-left National Socialist German Workers’ Party led to the massacre of 6 million Jews before World War II: the Holocaust.
The far left’s hatred of Jews echoes Hitler’s socialism and anti-Semitism in the 1930s.
“There is a sense that the world has not done enough to help, and that is etched in the memory of each and every Jew,” Makovsky added.
“Since then, there has been persistent concern that the world is no longer doing enough to help Jews,” he said.

The United Nations established Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2005, and it has since been celebrated to “mobilize civil society for Holocaust remembrance and education to help prevent long-term acts of genocide. “
On Friday, 26 January, a commemorative rite was held in the United Nations General Assembly Hall at United Nations Headquarters. Holocaust survivors and many others, as well as World War II veterans, joined a variety of speakers to honor and not forget those who suffered from the Holocaust. .
At the start, those gathered observed a moment of silence to recall the victims. The proceedings were streamed live at a time of “great pain” given the Oct. 7 terror attacks.
The Holocaust was orchestrated through the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but it found collaborators in the countries of Europe, including those at war with Germany.
“There is a sense that the world has not done enough to help, something that remains etched in the memory of each and every Jew. “
The Holocaust was the “organized, state-sponsored persecution and machine-like murder of approximately 6 million European Jews and at least 5 million prisoners of war,” reports the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Others affected, the museum notes, were Roma (Gypsies), Slavs, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the physically and mentally disabled.
Jews were the most affected by the horror, after centuries of anti-Semitism. The other 6 million people killed at the time represented a third of all the world’s Jews, according to the United Nations.

“The Jewish network never recovered,” Makovsky told Fox News Digital.
The global population of Jews today is about 15.7 million, with nearly 90% of them living in Israel and the United States, according to several sources.
“Holocaust” comes from the Greek and means “holocaust. “
This phrase is a terrible reminder that the inhumanity of the Holocaust runs deeper than the unfathomable number of deaths.

Jews were dehumanized, first with words, then systematically stuffed into farm animal vehicles, sent to death camps, and slaughtered like farm animals on a commercial scale, reinforcing today’s disgust and forgetfulness.

“Only one member of the race can be a citizen,” the German National Socialists declared in their 1920 program.
“A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood … Consequently, no Jew can be a member of the race.”

The platform temporarily became political and then death on an unprecedented scale.

The “holocausts” of the Holocaust were human bodies, victims of National Socialist atrocities, cremated in the ovens of death camps built across Europe to treat and kill unwanted members of society, usually Jews.

“Do you see that chimney over there? Do you see those flames?” wrote Weisel.
“Over there, that’s where you’re going to be taken. That’s your grave, over there.”
Jews were massacred in 23 major concentration camps across Europe, but at one point there were many smaller satellite camps in operation.
“From the bottom of the mirror, a corpse stared at me. The look in their eyes, as they looked into mine, never left me. ” —Elie Wiesel
American and Allied troops were horrified by the prisoners as they came across one camp after another during the final months of World War II in 1945.
“From the bottom of the mirror a corpse looked at me,” Wiesel wrote of an incident that occurred shortly after Buchenwald’s liberation.
