Holocaust Remembrance Day - The Importance of Discussion
Yom HaShoah is Holocaust Remembrance Day and is the day on which we make a special effort to remember the Holocaust and honor its victims, survivors and heroes. To the survivors the Holocaust remains an ever-present horrifying testament to the depths of evilness. For some others the Holocaust may seem like a distant part of history. It can even seem impossible that these horrendous events occurred. Remembering the Holocaust is the responsibility of everyone with a conscience. It is our duty to make sure it does not ever happen again, not only to Jews but to any oppressed minority. The fight against ignorance is a constant battle and one we cannot afford to lose. The best defense to ignorance is of course education.
