Recognizing the extraordinary courage of victims and survivors of the Holocaust.

Recognizing the extraordinary courage of victims and survivors of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, the Nazis went to great lengths to dehumanize their victims. Defying the Nazis took extraordinary courage. Resistance took many forms. The drawings of children hidden as a final act of defiance remain vivid testimonies to courage and resistance against dehumanization. In 2024, the United Nations is paying tribute to the bravery of all those who stood up to the Nazis, despite the grave risks. We honour their legacy with their remarkable stories. In the memory of all victims and survivors, we will step up our efforts to counter Holocaust denial, antisemitism and racism.
