Weekly BSU Fact

Holocaust Remembrance Week
This week, our school is observing Holocaust Remembrance Week. Each day, we’ll share a short fact to honor the memory of those who suffered and to remind us of the importance of tolerance, empathy, and standing up against hate.
After World War II, the Nuremberg Trials were held to bring Nazi leaders to justice for crimes against humanity. These trials set a historic precedent — that those who commit atrocities must be held accountable.
As we close Holocaust Remembrance Week, let’s take with us the lessons of history — to speak out against hate, protect the vulnerable, and promote kindness, understanding, and respect for all people.
