With great sorrow we received information about the death of Kazimierz Albin, the last living survivor of the first transport of Poles to the German Auschwitz camp (No. 118), a friend of the Memorial, a long-term member of the International Auschwitz Council. He was 96 years old. pic.twitter.com/24VyjSfsdE

.@RepAndyLevin: The genocide against the #Rohingya people has united Members on the Hill. We cannot undo these horrors, but the US can show our commitment to human rights by passing legislation to hold #Burma officials accountable. There is no better time to act than now. pic.twitter.com/hxd6FUO8aO

.@RepAnnWagner: The international community has been far too slow calling the situation in #Burma what it is: genocide. There's so much more that Members of Congress, advocates must do to continue raising awareness of the threats facing #Rohingya & others. pic.twitter.com/QriqsHUhNX

Hidden in a forest northeast of Warsaw in German-occupied Poland, the Nazi killing center known as Treblinka began gassing operations in July 1942. An estimated 925,000 Jews were murdered there before the facility ceased operating in September 1943. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…

Jewish councils were forced to implement Nazi policy in ghettos, but their role during the Holocaust remains controversial. While some complied with orders from the Nazis, others like Adam Czerniakow, from the Warsaw ghetto, refused. Read his story here: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/fil…

The Law against the Founding of New Political Parties, passed in July 1933, was pivotal in the Nazi leadership’s efforts to transition Germany from a democracy to a dictatorship. It was only one component of the process that made the Holocaust possible. bit.ly/2JMs1bj pic.twitter.com/loeiEoKLhv

We mourn the death of Vice Chairman Emeritus Mark E. Talisman, a “founding father” of our Museum. His leadership and bold vision were instrumental in shaping our Museum in its formative years.
