Tonight/Now here in Israel is Yom HaShoah known around the world
as Holocaust Remembrance Day. Its a time of remembering the 6 million Jews who
died in the Holocaust.
Most of you probably might say
who gives a f**k, it happened before I was born, didn't affect me, why should I
care. Well you should care, maybe it doesn't affect you directly and you didn't
lose a family member, but as saying goes Those who cannot learn from history
are doomed to repeat it. And that is very true.
Has the world gotten any
better since then, maybe people will say yes in terms of technology and other
aspects, but there are still wars being fought, people are still dying because
of simple differences.
So tonight is important,
remember what happened, all the lives that were lost and I know many of my
friends have young children and you would do anything to protect them and to
make the world a better place. Focus on that, the world we live and work
for, is for them, our future to live in a world where the Holocaust never
happens again.
As someone who visited some of
the camps in Poland, I do urge people if you have the chance to go there, to
hear the stories and to remember and never let it be forgotten.
NEVER AGAIN.
