Testimonies

“In Jewish tradition, the command to remember is absolute. But its obligation does not end with the cognitive act of memory—it must be connected to both meaning and action. Today, we for whom the memory is burned in our hearts and on our flesh gather to pass the torch of memory to the next generation. We pass to you, as well, the fundamental lesson of Judaism: that memory must be accompanied by action of ethical and moral intent. This must be the foundation and the focus of your energies toward the creation of a better world.” (Yad Vashem)
