Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
(George Santayana)
Hope without memory is like memory without hope
(Elie Wiesel)
“On HMD 2010, we hope people will think about how they can make a difference in their own communities, asking themselves what they can do today to build a safer, stronger society so that the risk of the building blocks of genocide ever being laid is removed.” (Holocaust Memorial Day Trust)
Remember and quake in fear lest it ever be repeated. Strain your ears and your hearts to hear the voices, the screams of those who are being silenced by oppression, those who are dispossessed of humanity. If we cannot have compassion (compassion = love + action) on the least of these, we will never fully meet Jesus.
