CCHR Florida Commemorates International Holocaust Memorial Day

CLEARWATER, Fla., Feb. 01, 2018 -- The Florida chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a mental health watchdog organization established by the Church of Scientology and dedicated to exposing abuses in the field of mental health,  commemorated International Holocaust Memorial Day on Friday, January 26, 2018 at the Church of Scientology’s National Historic Landmark, Ybor Square, in Tampa, Florida.

Joined by international Israeli singer Ms. Judy Bechar, who performed a special song in memory of the victims of this horrific period in history, guests discussed personal ties to the Holocaust and shared actions that can be taken to spread more awareness of tolerance.  Guests learned about psychiatry’s shocking role in the systematic murder of 6 million Jews as exposed in the documentary Psychiatry: An Industry of Death.

Located at the CCHR Florida center in downtown Clearwater, almost 5,000 people have toured the Psychiatry: An Industry of Death museum since it opened in July 2015 including elected officials, attorneys, psychiatric nursing students and concerned individuals from across the state. The 2-hour self-guided tour is free of charge and open to the general public 7 days a week.

About CCHR:  Initially established by the Church of Scientology and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz in 1969, CCHR’s mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. It was L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, who brought the terror of psychiatric imprisonment to the notice of the world.  In March 1969, he said, “Thousands and thousands are seized without process of law, every week, over the ‘free world’ tortured, castrated, killed.  All in the name of ‘mental health.’” For more information visit, www.cchrflorida.org
