At the Simon Wiesenthal Center and its Museums of Tolerance in Los Angeles and New York, every day is Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day.
For over three decades, Holocaust survivors have spoken about their experiences to millions of children and adults as part of the Center’s powerful, "Witness to Truth"program.

At the Wiesenthal Center, Holocaust survivors have been the most effective ambassadors of memory, hope and tolerance.
Today, on Yom Hashoah, we remember the words of the great Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, who said, “I have never forgotten you”.
Please support the Center who continues the legacy of Simon Wiesenthal and his work, today, on Yom Hashoah, and 365 days a year.
