The Prime Minister's Office National Public Diplomacy Directorate, has today (Friday, 26 January 2024), via the Government Advertising Agency, began an extensive public diplomacy campaign in the US to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Holocaust survivor and survivor of the October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Be'eri Ruth Haran is leading the campaign and speaking out about the horrifying similarity between the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis throughout Europe and the disaster that befell the State of Israel.

The campaign launched this morning in the US and will continue until Sunday, 28 January 2024, and includes billboards, an ad in The New York Times and a video clip that is being promoted on digital platforms.

 

"When babies are murdered in their cots, when women are raped, thrown to the ground and murdered, viciously, satanically, innocents – that's a Holocaust!"

National Public Diplomacy Directorate Head Moshik Aviv [translated from Hebrew]:

"On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we are obligated to raise awareness about the terrible atrocities experienced by the Jewish people in the Diaspora approximately 80 years ago.

Since then we have sworn that we will never again experience this.  We are here to remind the world that the State of Israel will not tolerate the persecution of the Jewish people around the world in general and in the State of Israel in particular."
