"It is incredible that Yahad is still meeting witnesses to these crimes. I thought it would be impossible after so many years. I knew about the victims, about their point of view, about Auschwitz. But I never thought the shootings happened on such a huge scale and in such a public way. I thought these executions were done in secret. As you said, what was public came to be hidden and what was supposed to be secret here in Auschwitz, is now well known," said Wojciech, a participant. Level II and Level III of the training for the museum guides are already planned for 2019 and 2020.
Holocaust education and genocide prevention
With the spread of violent extremist ideologies and genocide in several parts of the world, education has become a priority for Yahad - In Unum. Over the last few years, the organization has undertaken different educational initiatives aimed at teaching the history of the Holocaust and to prevent genocide and mass violence in the future. In 2016, Yahad expanded the dissemination of its research results and education programs to Central America by opening the Holocaust Museum in Guatemala, the first of its kind in Central America.
