`It is essential that we recall the Nazi rhetoric of the 1930s that ultimately led to the Holocaust’
Far-right extremism is threatening to diminish society’s learning from the Holocaust, he said, noting that “Holocaust Memorial Day cherishes the memory of all of the people who perished in the Holocaust and recalls the millions of victims who were persecuted because of their ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliations or their religious beliefs”.
Other participants in the event will be Holocaust survivors Tomi Reichental and Suzi Diamond, as well as second- and third-generation survivors Caryna Camerino and Nichola Zinn-Collis, with recorded reflections of Joe Veselsky. Representatives of other minorities killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust will also be in attendance, including people with disabilities and disabling conditions, Roma and Sinti, members of the LGBT+ community, political victims, Christians, and Jewish people. All the Jewish candle-lighters at the event be second and third generation Holocaust survivors.
