Their lives matter

Recently someone asked why I a non Jew spent so much time and effort on speaking and writing about the Holocaust.My reply simply was that for me the persons victimized by the Nazis are not some mere historical statistic that should be mentioned and then forgotten.They were innocent men, women and children and to me their lives matter to this day. To forget them is to ignore the value that their lives had and continue to have in our memory.I have heard it over and over again that it is time to move on and stop talking about them but my response is always the same.We must keep them in our hearts and minds so tr that uly “Never again “will be more than a slogan
