Today January 27, Memorial Day.
Because you can’t forget the past, even when you get hurt, even when uncomfortable situations come to mind, even when the past makes us ashamed of what we’ve done.
On this day of remembrance and commemoration, I leave you with a previous, still relevant article of mine that I wrote for this very day.
“Never forget. Memory must always be, every day. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow…..
All the innocents who lost their lives to Nazi-Fascist barbarism must always be remembered, never forgotten.
We think of Primo Levi with his works, Anne Franck with her diary, and these are just two examples of tales of what the horror of the camps meant, how that tragedy changed history and forced us all to come to terms with human baseness.
Remember so as not to forget, so that such a tragedy never happens again. Learning from history is the best way to never fall to the lowest levels of the human soul. The sacrifice of those who lost their lives in concentration changes must not be in vain.
Always remember, not just once a year”.
