Millions of ordinary people witnessed the crimes of the Holocaust—in the countryside and city squares, in stores and schools, in homes and workplaces. Across Europe, the Nazis found countless willing helpers who collaborated or were complicit in their crimes. What motives and pressures led so many individuals to abandon their fellow human beings? Why did others make the choice to help?

#Everynamecounts

#Everynamecounts is a crowdsourcing initiative by the Arolsen Archives which aims to establish a digital memorial to those persecuted by the Nazis. Formal rituals often don’t resonate with younger generations so #everynamecounts is a new way for them to actively engage with the past and learn about where discrimination, hate and antisemitism can lead.

Jews, Money, Myth

Jews, Money, Myth is a major exhibition by the Jewish Museum London exploring the antisemitic tropes and stereotypes about Jews and money. The museum’s aim is to “debunk a lot of the myths that still circulate today,” said Joanne Rosenthal, the exhibition’s curator, “such as Jews exerting a kind of sinister influence on world events, Jews financing disastrous wars around the world for profit, Jews being naturally drawn to money making.”
