2. The theme for Holocaust
Memorial Day 2016
Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel has written
powerfully about the impact of bystanders:
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever
human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the
oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages
the tormentor, never the tormented.
3. For some, the focus needs to be on individual acts of
kindness that signify we will not turn a blind eye when
those around us face prejudice or victimisation:
We need to take into account the lives of other people who
live around us. We need to look after each other.
Kemal Pervanić
For others, the focus is on more recent genocides:
Unfortunately, genocide is happening again. People
haven’t learnt. That won’t stop me pleading for tolerance.
Otto Deutsch

We will join these hands together to show how we
won’t stand by and let prejudice and discrimination
take place in our world.
