Two museums on opposite ends of Ohio have joined forces .
颁颈苍肠颈苍苍补迟颈鈥檚 and Cleveland鈥檚 will work together to ensure future generations are aware and will remember the Holocaust. 22% of millennials have never heard of the Holocaust.
HHC CEO Sarah Weiss said more work needs to be done to make sure it鈥檚 not just a footnote.
鈥淭here鈥檚 stories, there鈥檚 museums, there鈥檚 books,鈥� Weiss said. 鈥淚 think there鈥檚 also at times an oversimplification that happens with it or this assumption that people know what it is when it鈥檚 said and actually people don鈥檛.鈥�
The museums cite a rise of antisemitism across the country as reason for the campaign. Weiss said there鈥檚 always work to be done.
鈥淭he one thing that we need to always need to ensure, especially our elected officials, is that we鈥檙e not only calling it out on the other side when we see it on the other side, but we鈥檙e also calling it out when we see it in our own circles,鈥� Weiss said.
Dahlia Fisher from the Maltz Museum says there鈥檚 lessons to be learned from the Holocaust and that鈥檚 it 鈥渘ot just a Jewish story, but a human story.鈥�
The museums will offer educational programming and workshops to reach thousands of Ohioans. Programs will be offered digitally, as well as in-person. They expect to offer more programming and create more partnerships throughout communities in the future.
The campaign comes as a to create the Holocaust and Genocide Memorial and Education Commission.
