A keynote for Holocaust Remembrance Day ensures that remembrance is anchored in understanding, empathy and responsibility. By drawing on different expert perspectives, the keynote speaks to both the heart and the mind.
A keynote with Freddy Naftel brings the Holocaust into the present through personal testimony. His survivor perspective creates an emotional connection that makes history tangible and unforgettable. This kind of keynote fosters empathy and reinforces why remembering individual lives and experiences is essential to meaningful commemoration.
With James Holland, the audience gains a strong historical framework that places the Holocaust within the broader context of World War II. His keynotes help clarify causes, consequences and complexity, ensuring that remembrance is grounded in factual knowledge and critical reflection rather than simplification.
A keynote by Alex Kershaw focuses on moral courage, resistance and human choice. By highlighting stories of individuals who acted under extreme circumstances, he shows how values such as responsibility and integrity remain relevant today. This perspective encourages audiences to reflect on their own role in protecting democracy and human dignity.
Together, these keynotes demonstrate why a keynote for Holocaust Remembrance Day is a valuable investment: it transforms remembrance into lasting insight, ethical awareness and learning that extends far beyond January 27.
