PUEBLO — On Thursday, April 24, CSU Pueblo will be hosting its 12th Annual Holocaust Day of Remembrance to honor the millions of lives that were lost during World War II.
The Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust were designated by U.S. Congress in 1943.
CSU Pueblo's event will last all day and will include an itinerary featuring speakers, presentations, and educational activities.
“As a social worker and professor, I am saddened by the loss of millions of lives, horrified by the immense hatred against individuals perceived as different, and perplexed at the inability of people to recognize propaganda and strive to advocate for the oppressed."
“This is the twelfth year the Day of Remembrance is being offered to the Colorado State University Pueblo campus and the broader community to honor the millions that suffered cruelty, hatred, and murder.”
