A Global Campaign: #ProtectTheFacts

What is Holocaust distortion

It has become shockingly common on a global scale for governments, leading public figures, and others to minimise or misrepresent the impact of the Holocaust and downplay the crimes of the Nazi regime.

This is Holocaust distortion: rhetoric, written work, or other media that excuse, minimise, or misrepresent the known historical record of the Holocaust.

About Protect the Facts

Protect the Facts is an international initiative of the European Commission, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the United Nations, and UNESCO, who have joined forces to raise awareness of Holocaust distortion – both how to recognise it and how to counter it.

Why is it dangerous?

Holocaust distortion, like Holocaust denial, damages the memory of the Holocaust and is an insult to its victims and survivors. It is the greatest contemporary threat to the legacy of the Holocaust.
