He was the only one in his family to survive the Holocaust. Now Alter Wiener is committed to sharing his story with as many young people as he can.
The 92-year-old sat in front of the Oregon State Senate Education Committee this week to share his deep desire to educate, inspire and spread love throughout America.
“Be better, rather than bitter,” Wiener said.
His first big step is to convince Oregon state legislators to create and pass a bill that would mandate educators to teach students about the Holocaust and genocide.
Holocaust remembrance has fallen, especially in younger generations. A 2018 survey from The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany found that 22% of millennials “haven’t heard” or “are not sure if they have heard of the Holocaust.”
The survey also found that 31% of all Americans believe that 2 million Jews or less were killed during the Holocaust, when the actual numbers state
that approximately 6 million Jews were put to death during the Holocaust.
This presumably will be typical indoctrination dressed up as education.
Revisionists should attend the Oregon State Senate Education Committee and explain why the 'holocau$t' storyline is impossible. Not only would it get international coverage, but it might stop this propaganda bill from coming to life.
Free speech is like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, it will become weak and flabby. If you exercise it, it stays strong.
