Holocaust survivor Nellie Wiesenthal Fink spoke out on International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2023. She volunteers at the DC Holocaust Museum.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day serves as a date to remember the millions of victims of the Nazi regime and to promote Holocaust education throughout the world. "There's so much work to do. As Elie Wiesel said, 'If you weren't there, you can't know how bad it was what happened,'" Wiesenthal Fink said.
Fink is a volunteer for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The museum, located in Washington, D.C., is celebrating a major milestone this year, 30 years of existence. "We now are the last generation that will have the experience of meeting survivors first hand. So we have to treasure these stories," United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Midwest Regional Director Jill Weinberg said."Many, many, many years have passed since the Holocaust actually happened, but we are living in a time when there is more holocaust denial and more antisemitism and rising hate speech than we have seen in decades," she said.
