Protecting Holocaust educational websites
Today, January 27th, marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day dedicated to commemorating the victims murdered by the Nazis during World War II. The Holocaust saw the extermination of one third of Europe's Jewish population, with six million Jews and countless others deemed "inferior" being killed due to their race or disability. Antisemitism played a significant role in these events, leading to laws that outlawed and dehumanized Jews, as well as violence against them. The Final Solution for the Jewish Question was implemented, which aimed at exterminating the entire Jewish race through methods such as mass shootings, gas vans, and gas chambers. Sadly, antisemitism is on the rise again in Europe and across UK university campuses. To combat this, education plays a crucial role in fighting bigotry and racism. Cloudflare's Project Galileo provides free protection to at-risk groups worldwide, including Holocaust educational and remembrance websites. In the past year alone, Cloudflare mitigated over a quarter of a million cyber threats launched against these sites. As part of its mission to help build a better internet, Cloudflare's Project Galileo offers robust security and performance products for vulnerable public interest websites at no cost. The initiative is open to any organization working on critical issues such as human rights, independent media, and Holocaust education.
