This article by our founder and executive director, Tali Nates, for International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust in the UN Chronicle gives us an important space for reflection on our shared humanity and the deep need for empathy in today's world.

Tali Nates, born to Holocaust survivors, builds on her family’s story to combat antisemitism and promote reconciliation in societies torn by religious and ethnic conflict. She contributes to a growing body of scholarly work on African historical experiences of trauma.  #IRF_Award

We are so honoured that Tali Nates, our incredible director and founder has received this award. It is well deserved recognition for her dedication to advancing human rights and freedom of expression, religion and belief. Congratulations Tali!

South Africa showed the world the road to peace requires recognizing humanity in each other. The Holocaust, Apartheid, Jim Crow all relied on dehumanizing tropes. NelsonMandelaMuseumZA’s excellent exhibit in #Qunu highlights to work for peace, we must acknowledge our shared humanity.
