In 1945, the Holocaust finally came to an end, resulting in the death of about six million Jewish people. With Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, the world remembers the those killed, the rescuers and the survivors of the tragedy.
While Holocaust Remembrance Day passes by, UWindsor’s Jewish Student Association stresses the importance of never forgetting what happened and the victims of the tragedy. With their motto, “Never again,” they strive to educate people on the Holocaust and the stories the Jewish people carry of it. By doing so, they hope to ensure that the Holocaust never occurs again.
On Feb. 8, CJAM spoke to UWindsor’s incoming president of the Jewish Student Association, Justin Hebert. He discussed the Holocaust and how Windsorites can continue to show their solidarity with the Jewish community past Holocaust Remembrance Day.
