DALLAS, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In 1933, over nine million Jews lived in Europe, working hard, and raising families in the harsh reality of the worldwide economic depression. By May of 1945, the number horrifically stood at three million. Following Adolf Hitler's appointment as German chancellor on January 30, 1933, the road from persecution to genocide was paved with the lives of six million Jewish men, women, and children. The Third Reich and their collaborators had murdered two-thirds of the population of European Jewry as part of a systematic "Final Solution" — that much of the world stood by silently while the atrocities were being committed was incomprehensible.

Key Points: 
  • Anti-Semitism is exponentially rising and those who are concerned about this, we invite to partner with us this year.
  • This march is a bi-lateral effort among the Christian and Jewish communities to shoulder together in unity.
  • Anti-Semitism is exponentially rising and those who are concerned about this, we invite to partner with us this year.
  • The purpose of the stone is to remember those who perished and stand in solidarity against anti-Semitism and hate.
