HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
(YOM HASHOAH)
(YOM HASHOAH)
To survivors, the Holocaust remains real and ever-present, but for
some others, sixty years makes the Holocaust seem part of ancient history.
Year-round we try to teach and inform others about the horrors of the Holocaust.
We confront the questions of what happened? How did it happen? How could it
happen? Could it happen again? We attempt to fight against ignorance with
education and against disbelief with proof.
This one day in the year when we should make a special effort to
remember. Upon this one day, we remember those who suffered, those who fought
back, and those that died. From 1939 till the end of World War 2 in Europe, over
six million Jews were detained, forced into labour camps and eventually murdered
as a final solution. Along with them were several more millions deemed
undesirable, from homosexuals, Gypsy's, Jehovah's Witnesses and other not
conformist churches, to the physically and mentally
handicapped.
