Today, we pause to remember the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust, along with the millions of others whose lives were taken by hatred and intolerance. On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor their memories by holding space for their stories, their resilience, and their humanity.
May we never forget the lessons of the past, and may we commit ourselves to compassion, justice, and standing up for one another—always. 🕯️
