"Holocaust survivors
across the world have united to deliver a message on the dangers of
unchecked hate and the importance of remembrance at a time of rising global antisemitism.""In a video released Thursday
to mark Yom HaShoah -- Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day -- 100
Holocaust survivors asked people to stand with them and remember the
Nazi genocide to avoid repeating the horrors of the past."
"The
100 Words project video was released by the New York-based Conference
on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, also referred to as the
Claims Conference. The group represents the world’s Jews in negotiating
for compensation and restitution for victims of Nazi persecution and
their heirs, and provides welfare for Holocaust survivors around the
globe."
"The 100 Word Project statement by Holocaust survivors says:"
“Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day
We all survived the Holocaust
We are here to give voice to the six million Jews who were murdered
We are a reminder unchecked hatred can lead to actions, actions to genocide
Just over 75 years ago, one-third of the world’s Jews were systematically murdered
Among them, over 1.5 million children were killed in the name of indifference, intolerance, hate
Hatred for what was feared
Hatred for what was different
We must remember the past or it will become our future
On Holocaust Remembrance Day we ask the world to stand with us and remember.”
