"The genocide of the Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis is considered the ultimate paradigm of evil due to its scale and brutality. It represents the most extensive and horrific attempt to destroy a people in known history. (...) This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camps and the end of World War II. Those who survived were physically liberated, but their spirits remained prisoners of the atrocities they experienced. For the past eight decades, their accounts have borne witness to the silent cries of the murdered. It is not certain that humanity will hear them."
(Rabbi Abraham Skorka)
