Never forget: No trivialisation of the Holocaust - Commemoration on the Occasion of the International Holocaust Memorial Day at Heldenplatz and video projections at numerous locations in Vienna. The trivialisation of the Shoa, the terrible crimes of National Socialism, through false comparisons must not be accepted in silence. Due to the Corona pandemic, the trivialisation of the crimes of the National Socialists has become widespread. Due to the current pandemic situation, this year's event will again be mainly online. On January 27, 2022, there will be a very small event at Heldenplatz, which will be streamed on Facebook and thus can be followed. The recorded interviews will be projected at different locations in Vienna on the evening of January 27. In the video projections, contemporary witnesses and their grandchildren will speak at prominent locations in Vienna about what happened historically and currently in different contexts and what they would like to pass on to all of us.
