Holocaust survivors, their family members, religious leaders and other attended a
#HolocaustRemembrance ceremony at
#UnitedNations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday.
“You choose remembrance as a living force — a shield against prejudice, a spark for justice, a pledge to protect every human being,” Secretary-General antonioguterres told those in attendance.
“Remembrance is more than honouring the past. It is a duty and a promise to defend dignity, to protect the vulnerable, and to keep faith with those whose names and stories we refuse to forget,” he added, underscoring the responsibility we all share:
“To speak the truth.
To educate new generations.
To confront antisemitism and all forms of hatred and discrimination.
And to defend the dignity of every human being.”
