As International Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, the world is urged to reflect not only on the memory of the Holocaust but on the ongoing responsibility to confront antisemitism and atrocity. The phrase 'Never Again' serves as a warning, not a comfort, reminding us that denial and silence in the face of violence carry grave consequences. The October 7 attack against Israeli civilians exposed disturbing patterns of denial, equivocation, and selective outrage, challenging the integrity of global institutions and the consistency of moral standards.

Efforts such as the Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes Against Women and Children seek to preserve truth and ensure that atrocities are neither forgotten nor denied, emphasizing that remembrance must be active and universal. The erosion of Holocaust memory, whether through denial or distortion, threatens the clarity and force of its lessons. As survivors dwindle, the burden falls on institutions and individuals to uphold moral clarity and resist the temptation to soften or relativize contemporary crimes.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a call to name atrocities clearly and to honor victims by defending truth, regardless of political or social discomfort. The commitment to 'Never Again' demands vigilance, consistency, and the courage to confront evil whenever and wherever it arises.
