Jeneration & Aegis Trust Genocide Awareness Campaign
Jeneration & Aegis Trust Genocide Awareness Campaign 24.01.11 - 25.02.11The Genocide Awareness Campaign runs from 24th January – 25th February 2011.

 

Why are we running this campaign?

The Jewish people know from their ancient and modern history the consequences of communities standing by silently whilst others suffer. We must all learn from history if we are not to repeat its mistakes. Having suffered slavery, racism, discrimination, collective punishment, torture and genocide, we have a moral duty to speak out whenever we witness such violations.

 

Remembering the expulsions of whole communities, we understand the need to promote justice, reparations and restitution; remembering the struggle to preserve our basic cultural rights to education, language and religious practice, we value rights for all.

What is the campaign?

The Campaign runs from 24th January – 25th February

  • National Holocaust Memorial Day – attend one of the many HMD services taking part across the country.
  • Beth Shalom visit – Jeneration are running a visit to the Beth Shalom Holocaust Centre near Nottingham.
