Facebook, UNESCO and the World Jewish Congress said Thursday that Facebook’s Holocaust education initiative has been extended to 12 languages.

The social network introduced a prompt for English-language users on International Holocaust Remembrance Day Jan. 27, encouraging anyone searching for terms associated with the Holocaust or Holocaust denial to seek credible information on the topic off-platform and providing a link to Facts About the Holocaust.

Starting Thursday, the prompt will be shown in Arabic, English, French, Polish, Russian and Spanish, with Chinese, Farsi, German, Hebrew, Hungarian and Portuguese to be added later this month.

The Facts About the Holocaust site shares facts about the genocide of European Jewry and the mass killings of other national, ethnic, political and other groups by Nazi Germany and its accomplices during World War II.
