Good morning, everyone Today, we gather to reflect upon a significant moment
in history—the Holocaust. a reminder of a dark period when humanity faced its
greatest test and, tragically, failed in many ways. The Holocaust wasn't just a chapter in history books. It was a devastating time when millions of lives were lost, including six million Jewish individuals, along with countless others who were targeted due to their beliefs, ethnicity, or identities. What makes this period so heartbreaking is not just the sheer number of lives lost, but the deliberate and systematic nature of the cruelty inflicted upon innocent people. It serves as a stark reminder of what can happen when intolerance and hatred are allowed to spread. However, amidst this darkness, stories of bravery and compassion emerged. There were individuals who risked everything to help those in need, standing up against injustice and showing incredible resilience in the face of unimaginable horrors. Remembering the Holocaust is about more than just acknowledging a tragic past; it's about learning from it. It's about standing against discrimination and cruelty in all forms and ensuring that the values of kindness, respect, and understanding guide our actions. In a world still marked by division and prejudice, the lessons of the Holocaust remain crucial. It's our duty to teach future generations about the importance of empathy and acceptance for all. We must work together to create a world where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their background or beliefs. It's our responsibility to ensure that the phrase "never again" becomes a reality by actively promoting peace and understanding. Let us honour the memory of those who suffered by striving for a world where compassion triumphs over hate and where unity and acceptance reign supreme. Thank you.
