In Taking Action Together: “The Twin Dangers of Silence & Complicity,” Sheryl Ochayan explains how silence and inaction have fueled atrocities throughout history — especially during the Holocaust — by enabling hatred to spread unchecked. Ms. Ochayan challenges you to see that staying “neutral” is not neutral at all, and urges you to use your voice against injustice.

Three things you will learn:

1. How you can recognize moments when silence becomes complicity.

2. Why you must confront indifference — because doing nothing allows harm to persist.

3. Concrete ways you can act — through speaking up, supporting survivors, and building communities of accountability.
