Today we pause to remember the millions of innocent lives lost to hatred, cruelty, and indifference.

We honour their memory by refusing to forget their stories, their names, and their humanity.

Holocaust Memorial Day reminds us that the past is not distant.

It is a responsibility we carry, to choose compassion over cruelty, courage over silence, and love over hate. May remembrance guide our actions, so that dignity, justice, and peace are protected for all, always.
