“Today we honour the memory of the six million
Jews who perished in the Holocaust – and the
many other victims of unprecedented,
calculated cruelty and horror.
This year’s observance falls amid an alarming
increase in anti-Semitism.
From a deadly assault on a synagogue in the
United States to the desecration of Jewish cemeteries
in Europe, this centuries-old hatred is not only
still strong – it is getting worse.
We see the proliferation of neo-Nazi groups, and
attempts to rewrite history and distort the
facts of the Holocaust.
We see bigotry moving at lightning
speed across the Internet.
As the Second World War recedes in time, and
the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles,
it falls to us to be ever vigilant.
And as the former Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom,
Jonathan Sacks, so memorably said:
“The hate that begins with Jews never ends with Jews”.
Indeed, we see intolerance entering mainstream
politics -- targeting minorities, Muslims,
migrants and refugees, and exploiting
anger and anxiety of a changing world.
Now more than ever, let us unite in the fight
universal values and build a world of equality for all."

"The theme of the Holocaust remembrance and education activities this year is “Holocaust Remembrance: Demand and Defend Your Human Rights”. This theme encourages youth to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust, act against discrimination and defend democratic values
in their communities, at a time when the spread of
Neo-Nazism and hate groups fuels the rising
antisemitism and other forms of
hatred around the world. The theme
highlights the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."

The photograph above is a still shot from a film made by the Soviet Union in
February 1945 after Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. The photo shows
two women in the foreground who are lying on the
brick stove down the center of the barrack,
as they huddle under blankets trying to keep warm.
Men, Women and Children
Young and Old Alike;
Slaughtered during the Nazi Holocaust:
Lawlessly killed Morning, Noon and
Night!
More than six-million Souls were
ripped apart in utter despair . . .
Before the eyes of Heaven and Earth:
Abominable! Unjust! Unfair!
Tyranny launched a most heinous
slaughter!
Monstrous crimes - even in the flesh -
against Humanity's Fathers, Sons,
Mothers and Daughters!
And all this took place -
In the 20th Century: a telling sign of
utter lawlessness and disgrace!
The World as a Whole shall
NEVER FORGET
the Holocaust which brought much
darkness, sorrowful grief and great pain!
The World as a Whole make'th
clear and plain of Tyranny's horrors:
NEVER AGAIN!
