The importance to know history so that we do not lose our humanity. #RajinBaca #MenolakLupa Shortly after World War II, after we saw the reality of Auschwitz and the other death camps, no normal person wanted to be associated with the anti-Semitism of the Nazis, Lauder said. But, as the Holocaust grows more distant and survivors disappear, extremists grow more bold in targeting Jews. Stoked by a false narrative that blames Israel for a litany of the worlds problems, anti-Semitism is resurgent and deadly. Eva Umlauf, an Auschwitz survivor who lives in Munich, believes the culture of remembrance will inevitably change because the era of the survivors is coming to an end soon, adding she has already seen a change in the younger generation. Their perception of the Holocaust is abstract. These kids are already the children of those born long after the end of the war — there isnt really a direct connection anymore to the great-grandparents who lived at that time in Germany, said Umlauf, who was born in 1942 in a labour camp for Jews in Slovakia.
