Going through the historic documents of the Maison d'Izieu shed a light on the atrocities of the #Holocaust. It enabled an interesting discussion among diplomats on the remembrance work, including the role of the post-war justice #Nuremberg#WeRemember
Today, 30 diplomats @UNGeneva are in 🇫🇷Maison d'Izieu, marching in the steps of 44 Jewish children who were deported to #Auschwitz during the #Holocaust.
An important visit to remember the victims and to understand the current scourge of #antisemitism. #WeRemember
📢Israel deeply regrets #CERD's erroneous decision, stating it has jurisdiction to deal with a Palestinian complaint lodged with it against Israel. This decision is not based on solid legal grounds and is clearly selective and biased against Israel.

This fascinating exhibition reveals, amongst others, the stories of Simon Wiesenthal, Emmanuel Ringelblum and Rachel Auerbach, Raphael Lemkin, Vasily Grossman, Alfred Wiener, Eva Reichmann and more. All pioneers who documented the horrors of the Holocaust. #GenocidePreventionDay
In 1943, Raphael Lemkin was 1️⃣ to use the term #genocide to describe the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews during the #Holocaust.
Today, together with @GermanyUNGeneva, we will honor him and other researchers/institutes for their pioneer work.
