Incite, Resist, Document: Weighing the Power of Words 2018 Days of Remembrance Theme
The Georgia Commission on the Holocaust is charged with hosting an annual observance in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
The theme for the 2018 Holocaust Days of Remembrance in Georgia encourages reflection upon the moral questions raised while examining this period of history and what it means to be a responsible citizen. The words we use, when we speak, when we write, post or tweet, have a lasting impact.
