Poland: Auschwitz foundation created to fight indifference

Published January 26, 2022 6:56 AM

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A new Polish foundation has been created to distribute grants globally to groups that come up with novel ways to fight indifference to hatred and discrimination. The Auschwitz Pledge Foundation was announced on Wednesday, on the eve of the 77th anniversary of the liberation, by Soviet forces in 1945, of the World War II Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland. January 27 was also designated years ago by the United Nations as the annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The goal of the Warsaw-based group is to support innovative projects that fight indifference to hatred in societies, based on the idea that it can lead to violence and even genocide.
