Thought for the Week W/C 26 th January 2015 Holocaust Memorial Day

On the 27 January, is Holocaust Memorial Day. It is the day for everyone to remember the millions of people killed in the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. On HMD we can honour the survivors of these regimes of hatred and challenge ourselves to use the lessons of their experience to inform our lives today

“Keep the memory alive” is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day January 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau will also be the 20th anniversary of the Genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia. Therefore it is particularly appropriate that the theme for this major anniversary year focuses on memory.

Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania, which is now part of Romania. He was 15 years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. This poem is from the memoir he wrote about his experiences

Never Shall I Forget, from Night by Elie Wiesel Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith for ever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.

Discuss 1) Who or what are we remembering? Whose memory are we trying to keep alive? Think about all those who suffered in the Holocaust – it isn't only the people who were murdered, but the survivors too, and their families. Think about what we remember – is it the history of what happened (dates and places) or is it someone’s way of life before the genocide that was destroyed? 2) Why are we remembering? What happens if we don't remember? What happens if we do remember? 3) What human rights were affected by the Holocaust?

HMD is a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and to recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own, it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism and hatred are not checked and prevented. We’re fortunate here in the UK; we are not at risk of genocide. However, discrimination has not ended, nor has the use of the language of hatred or exclusion. There is still much to do to create a safer future and HMD is an opportunity to start this process.
