Berlin, January 21, 2025 – The German Bundestag has announced its participation in the #WeRemember remembrance campaign, a global initiative to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides.
The campaign, launched by the World Jewish Congress, aims to unite individuals and institutions worldwide in a collective act of remembrance. It encourages the sharing of stories, educational resources, and historical perspectives to raise awareness and prevent future atrocities.
“It is our moral responsibility to never forget the horrors of the Holocaust and to fight against all forms of intolerance and hatred,” said Bundestag President Bärbel Bas. “By joining the #WeRemember campaign, we reaffirm our commitment to preserving the memory of the victims and working towards a future where such atrocities never happen again.”
The Bundestag will participate in the campaign through various initiatives, including:
- Displaying the #WeRemember logo in its buildings and on its website
- Hosting educational events and workshops on the Holocaust and other genocides
- Encouraging its members to share their personal experiences and insights on social media

The #WeRemember campaign has gained widespread support from leaders, organizations, and individuals worldwide. By joining the campaign, the Bundestag sends a strong message that it stands with the global community in condemning hate and intolerance, and in working towards a more just and compassionate future.
“The participation of the German Bundestag in the #WeRemember campaign is a powerful symbol of the country’s commitment to reconciliation and its determination to prevent future genocides,” said Ronald S. Lauder, President of the World Jewish Congress. “We are grateful for their support and believe that their involvement will help to ensure that the memory of the Holocaust is never lost.”
The #WeRemember campaign will run from January 27, 2025, the 77th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, to February 1, 2025, the United Nations International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
