Holocaust memorial day 2008


arrival and selection of Hungarian Jews, Birkenau, 1944

My prayers are with the many people who are recognising today, through commemorations, services, or simply in their private lives.

'if history has something to teach us, then it is not the continued institution of new memorials, remembrance days and museums that enable the public to calm its conscience, rather, it is the taking up of the 'never again' in our current setting of injustice and genocide.' Phillip Blom

What do you think is meant by the words 'taking up of the 'never again''? Please give your opinions underneath.
