Holocaust Remembrance Day 2013

"From the ashes of the Holocaust rose spiritual redemption and political rebirth. We rose and we built a state of our own. We lost possessions, but retained our values. We returned to our ancient homeland. We renewed our moral legacy. We returned to independence. We returned to creating, to educating and we returned to hope. We built a defensive force capable of dealing with dangers, new and old. The Israel Defence Forces, which was formed in response to the attempt to annihilate the Jewish State which had just been created, is also the right lesson from the Holocaust. It is founded upon the bravery of Jews in the Holocaust."

Israels president Shimon Peres, från hans tal igår på "Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony" .
 
(Holocaust Remembrance Day 2013 börjar 7/4 på kvällen och slutar idag 8/4 vid solnedgången - det traditionella judiska sättet att räkna "en dag".)
