Albuquerque, January 27—Today marks 78 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest concentration camp, in 1945. On this day, we take time to bring honor to the memory of the more than 6 million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered at the hand of the Nazis.
We keep their memories alive so that this history is never forgotten or erased. Although the Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history, what we can learn from this history is how to prevent it from ever happening again.
Today, let us take the opportunity to reflect on our responsibilities to stand up against oppression, prejudice, and hatred in all forms and to carry the duty of “Never Again” into future generations.
