Recording from the webinar „ Holocaust denial and distortion in times of the 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation” from the 23 January 2025.
As the world marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, this webinar explored the ongoing threats of Holocaust denial and distortion. Experts examined how extremist groups, state actors, and social media have amplified misinformation, challenging historical truth and undermining the memory of one of history’s darkest chapters. Our speaker, Marlene Wöckinger—a historian at the Mauthausen Memorial and an expert in Holocaust education—shares her insights. She collaborates with erinnern.at, TikTok Germany, and EuroClio on innovative educational projects. The webinar provides educators and the public with practical tools—including lesson plans, fact-checking resources, and survivor testimonies—to counter Holocaust distortion effectively.
