On Yom HaShoah, the Miami Jewish community commemorated the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, recognizing the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. The event at Temple Emanu-El honored survivors' stories and the efforts of their descendants in educating future generations about hatred's consequences. With a significant decline in the number of Holocaust survivors, who now total about 220,800 worldwide, the urgency of preserving their accounts becomes critical, as nearly half are expected to pass away within the next six years.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, highlighting a significant milestone in remembering the victims of the Holocaust.
The event showcased stories from survivors and from second, third and fourth-generation descendants who are continuing to educate the next generation.
As Holocaust survivors continue to age and pass away, events like the one at Temple Emanu-El become even more important for preserving their stories.
Nearly 50 percent of all Holocaust survivors will pass away within the next 6 years, underlining the urgency of remembrance events.
