Eryn Sarkin, a JD Academy member deeply committed to preserving history, has launched an inspiring initiative: 80 Voices for 80 Years. As we approach the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, Eryn is determined to ensure the stories of Holocaust survivors are shared widely and meaningfully. Through this project, she gathers and shares 80 survivor stories, each a powerful testament to resilience, courage, and hope. It’s not just about recounting the past; it’s about honoring lives lived, lessons learned, and the humanity that endures even in the darkest times.
The Holocaust isn’t just history. It’s a call to remember, educate, and act against hate. As survivors’ voices grow quieter over time, initiatives like Eryn’s are crucial for preserving these stories and ensuring their messages resonate with future generations. Every story shared through this project is an opportunity to connect with history on a deeply human level, reminding us all of the importance of empathy and understanding in building a better future.
