I was privileged to witness the United Nations General Assembly mark the very first International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January 2006. The need to educate against discrimination and to accept difference regardless of color, race, religion or belief has not diminished. It is perhaps more pressing than ever. Therefore, on this day, the world will solemnly bow its head in remembrance and pledge never to forget.
However, if this is to be anything more than lip service, then Holocaust remembrance must extend beyond an annual 24-hour event. The enormity of the tragedy, the six million individual worlds that were obliterated, demand that we do more.
