Opinion | In the Name of the Survivors: Ensuring the Eternity of Israel Israel today

Only after one million and 100,000 Jews were murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp did the Red Army enter it and thwart its mission - to destroy the Jewish people as a whole.

It took no less than 60 years to translate the atrocities behind the slogan "Labor liberates" into a decision to set up an international day of remembrance for Holocaust victims.

This decision, made at the UN General Assembly unanimously, that "the Holocaust, in which a third of the Jewish people were exterminated, will forever be a warning to all peoples of the world of the danger of free hatred, racism and prejudice," was probably formulated against the question of Important as it may be, the decision to plant a cure for the survivors who are still walking among us, and whose horrors of the Holocaust scarred their lives, does not have the power to bring back the pure souls of the hundreds of thousands of children who could not have ascended in the chimney smoke of Grandparents themselves.

In fact, even the decision to establish an international day in memory of Holocaust victims does not even have the power to eradicate the phenomenon of anti-Semitism, which continues to raise its head.

Rising anti-Semitism does not occur in a vacuum.

Her ideas are expressed in neo-Nazi movements around the world, which include tens of thousands of activists seeking to revive Nazism and cultivate the vision of the Fourth Reich.

The common denominator of these movements, the most recent of which is the BDS boycott movement, is their denial of the Holocaust and the denial of the right to exist of the State of Israel.

In an age where the world is keeping an eye on vaccines, one must honestly admit: the role of memory, which contributes to the healing of the intergenerational chain that has lost valuable links, comes down to warning of the next "burning town."

As such, memory seeks to engrave the consciousness "never again" and preserve the character of the land of ancestral covetousness as the state of the Jews, but it does not serve as a vaccine for the antisemitic virus.

Therefore, the importance of setting an international day of remembrance lies precisely in its limited impact.

The equation that proves that as long as there is antisemitism the memory of the past will not be forgotten, also presents scenarios that may be northern in the future.

Thus, for example, the plea of ​​the father of the Betar movement, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, on the eve of World War II to millions of his people in Europe, to memorize the concept of "H-R-R-B-N" and escape for their lives, echoes the contemporary cries, The beggars around the world are listening to the nuclear threat wings of the Iranian creator.

The clear connection between the railway carriages - which under the guise of technological progress was used by the extermination industry in the 20th century - and the brewing of centrifuges, which in the same disguise may be used by the extermination industry in the 21st century, was woven as the second thread.

For a country where the creaking of iron wheels and steam sirens are part of the soundtrack of its resurrection, even a deafening vibration of deafening centrifuges.

The death toll was also tattooed on the arms of the fire-shaded Udim, who survived the Valley of Killing and were willing to risk their lives in the war for Israel's independence.

The goal then before their eyes is that it should be before our eyes even today: to ensure the eternity of Israel.

Were we wrong?
