Survivors unite to deliver message on Holocaust remembrance

This April 2022 image from video shows two of 100 Holocaust survivors, Eva Evans, left, and Judith Bihaly, right, who participated in a video marking Yom HaShoah, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day. They are asking people to stand with them and remember the Nazi genocide to avoid repeating the horrors of the past.

Foxman's parents left him with his Polish Catholic nanny Bronislawa Kurpi in 1941 when they were ordered by Germans to enter a ghetto. Foxman was baptized and given the Christian name of Henryk Stanislaw Kurpi, and raised as a Catholic in Vilnius between 1941 and 1944 when he was returned to his parents.  He later became the head of the ADL – a position he held for nearly 50 years.
