This week Iran has held a conference entitled “Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision,” raising questions as to whether the Holocaust actually took place.
As a Jew and someone who cares about the continuity of the Jewish people and Israel, this conference is sickening and frightening. There are still people who believe that the Holocaust did not occur and there is a nation state that is promoting these lies. It is vital that the Jewish community come together, raise our voice on this issue and educate the world community on the realities of genocide. Fighting Holocaust denial all over the world is as important now as it has ever been.
After the Holocaust we said, “Never Again.” This conference is scary because there are people who are denying the worst atrocities inflicted on the Jews in recent memory. Remembering the Holocaust and educating the Jewish and non-Jewish community about this tragedy in our history is the best way for us to continue to hold the Holocaust in our memory and assure that “Never Again” continues to be true.
