On Dec. 28, I had the honor of attending a birthday party for Rose Schindler, a 90-year-old friend, hosted by her remarkable family and community. A birthday at 90 is extraordinary in itself, but she is a Holocaust survivor. Her story and that of her husband is now told in the recent publication of “Two Who Survived: Keeping Hope Alive While Surviving the Holocaust,” which I strongly recommend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Esa misma noche en Monsey, Nueva York, comenz\u00f3 otra fiesta para la s\u00e9ptima noche de Hanukkah. Familiares y amigos se reunieron en la casa de su rabino. Un individuo irrumpi\u00f3 en la fiesta empu\u00f1ando un machete decidido a da\u00f1ar a la mayor cantidad de personas posible. Al menos siete resultaron heridos, uno de gravedad. Ahora est\u00e1 claro que el perpetrador estaba obsesionado con pensamientos antisemitas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here in San Diego, we have had our own horrific events, principally the attack on the synagogue and fatal shooting of a worshiper in Poway last year. We know that anti-Semitic acts occurring throughout our country have increased sharply, not to mention those in Europe. My colleague from New York, Rep. Nita Lowey, recently wrote an editorial with the American Jewish Committee\u2019s David Harris asking two important basic questions: Why now? How to respond?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Al tratar de comprender el surgimiento del antisemitismo, Lowey y Harris afirman que existe como la enfermedad social m\u00e1s antigua del mundo. A medida que cada vez menos sobrevivientes del Holocausto pueden contar sus desgarradoras historias, comprender las condiciones que crearon tal deshumanizaci\u00f3n se convierte en una historia menos personal para las nuevas generaciones. Por eso es tan importante capturar esas historias de sobrevivientes capaces y dispuestos a compartir recuerdos dolorosos.<\/span><\/p>\n

No es casualidad que el aumento de la violencia contra las personas se produzca en paralelo con el aumento del desconocimiento del Holocausto. Seg\u00fan un informe reciente del FBI, mientras que el n\u00famero de delitos de odio denunciados ha disminuido, los actos violentos han aumentado.<\/span><\/p>\n

No abordar el odio en todas sus formas equivale a aceptarlo. La respuesta al ataque con machete en Nueva York y otros ataques en todo el pa\u00eds produce los resultados habituales de una mayor seguridad y una presencia policial m\u00e1s fuerte, y se habla de crear conciencia. Estos, por supuesto, son signos positivos. Desafortunadamente, a medida que estos incidentes se desvanecen de la memoria, tambi\u00e9n lo hacen los esfuerzos de prevenci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Debe haber una campa\u00f1a constante de educaci\u00f3n sobre el odio, la violencia, pasada y presente, y la importancia de la aceptaci\u00f3n. Esta educaci\u00f3n debe comenzar a una edad temprana para que no veamos n\u00fameros asombrosos como 66% de millennials que no pueden identificar el campo de concentraci\u00f3n de Auschwitz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Necesitamos escuchar a los sobrevivientes, como Rose, que se aferr\u00f3 a la esperanza durante un per\u00edodo de terribles atrocidades. Tambi\u00e9n necesitamos escuchar las historias de aquellos que arriesgaron sus vidas para salvar jud\u00edos durante el Holocausto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can all agree that, in the many outbursts of hate we hear and see today, social media plays a role in giving people a toxic outlet for like acceptance. <\/span>Social media platforms create easy environments for hate groups and terrorist organizations to recruit vulnerable individuals, who are usually those feeling isolated from society and seek affirmation from others. <\/span>Social media companies have a responsibility to weed out those who would use their platforms\u00a0as tools to spread hate and violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poner fin al odio es responsabilidad de todos. Las voces de la tolerancia son muchas y las voces del odio son pocas. Cuando las comunidades se unen para denunciar el odio y promover la tolerancia, env\u00eda un poderoso mensaje de que no seremos intimidados y no viviremos con miedo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed hay una m\u00e1xima simple para comenzar el nuevo a\u00f1o: trata a los dem\u00e1s como quieres que te traten a ti.<\/span><\/p>\n
