We remember.🕯️
Today we honor 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism.
Trivializing, distorting, and denying the Holocaust continues to fuel antisemitism, damaging our collective memory.

Today, we commemorate victims of violence based on religion or belief.

On 17 July, our thoughts are with the 298 victims of the downing of flight #MH17, including 196 Dutch nationals, and their loved ones. The recent @echr.coe.int
judgment and @icao.int decision confirm Russia’s responsibility. We remain committed to achieving truth, justice and accountability.
Today we honor #AnneFrank, who was born on this day in 1929.
