The World Jewish Congress is asking people to photograph themselves while holding a sign with the words "We Remember", and post the image to social media using the hashtag #WeRemember.

This year the campaign was launched in more than 50 countries and 20 languages. Only a week old, thousands of images have been pouring in from around the globe.

Last year's campaign was viewed the world over by more than 250 million people. Participants included heads of state, celebrities, and citizens from as far away as Canada to Croatia and Russia to Rwanda. Notable figures who joined in 2017 included Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and President Rueven Rivlin;Prime Minister of Belgium Charles Michel; German Justice Minister Heiko Maas; US Senator Chuck Schumer; Congressmen Jerrold Nadler and Eliot Engel; and philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy. Within just a few weeks #WeRemember became the number one trending topic in Germany and other countries around the world.

The campaign will run through International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, culminating with a live projection of all participant photos on the grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau between January 24-27.
