International Holocaust Remembrance Day
January 27th, 2016

Just like you, they had siblings, parents, children. They were infants, adolescents, elderly. They laughed, struggled, and loved. Each and every one of them was different. 11 million people were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. Jews, Roma, Slavs, LGBTQ, Political Opponents, Disabled. All because they were DIFFERENT. 

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we encourage you to be proud of who you are, in their memory.

Never Again; A Poem of the Holocaust

Never again we swore that day,

In that country so far away.

Never again would the ground be dyed red

With the blood of those so recently dead.

Never again would fires light the night sky

As days, weeks, months, flew unheeded by.

Never again would a people cry out

So abused and so hated, their own worth they did doubt.

Never again will people die

While others watching stand idly by.

Never again when something can be done

Will evil be allowed to let its course run.

Never again will we hope and we pray,

While just trying to survive until the next day.

Never again will families cry, And wonder why,

Why not give up and die?

Never again will the odds against overwhelm

Causing people to journey to the eternal realm.

Never again will people just disappear

Thousands upon thousands, and more every year.

Never again we said, never again.

Never again: When is that?

When?
