Front Page: Miri Ben-Ari

Miri Ben-Ari , the hip hop violinist is educating the public on the Jewish Holocaust, through a new campaign launched by her nonprofit organization Gedenk. Ari will officially kick off the effort this friday Friday [May 2nd].

IN SHORT: The Holocaust pertains to the genocide of approximately 6 million European Jews during World War II, at the hands of the Nazi regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.

Established in 2006, Gedenk is a humanitarian movement dedicated to teaching and raising youth awareness about the Jewish Holocaust as well as anti-Semitism, racism and its negative consequences on the world today.

"I founded Gedenk because I discovered there was an urgent need to expand youth education about the Holocaust," the Grammy winner said. "As a third generation to Holocaust survivors, I was appalled by studies showing that 50 percent of kids graduating high school in America don't know what the Holocaust is."
