Milton cited the 2022 Never Again Education Act in his proclamation during the Tuesday, April 12 alderman meeting. The week features a number of events including films, live performances, and a Holocaust survivor sharing their story.

“Antisemitism has escalated worldwide in a climate of hatred,” Milton said. “Education and awareness are key to combat this hatred and to alert our youth to the dangers of repeating the mistakes of the past.”
