Citizens Commission on Human Rights Hosts Holocaust Event, Sparks Discussion

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Nashville (CCHR Nashville) held a special briefing on The Holocaust: What They Don’t Want You to Know in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.


The UN General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. “On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the victims of the Nazi era and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s website.

This is why the Citizens Commission on Human Rights chose this day to present a special briefing on “The Holocaust: What They Don’t Want You to Know.” A special video was played which showed the atrocities committed in the early 1940s under the Nazi regime and exactly whose ideas led to the Holocaust. After seeing the video, attendees went into immediate discussion about the implications the video showed for how these same people are affecting people in the current day.

CCHR has long been an advocate for human rights, especially as relates to patients’ rights in the field of mental health. Per the international CCHR website, cchr.org, “CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.”
