2023 Holocaust Memorial Day Statement | University of Northampton

Adolf Goebbels
Published on Jan 24, 2023
â€¢ We recognise that the Holocaust shook the foundations of modern civilisation. Its

unprecedented character and horror will always hold universal meaning.

â€¢ We believe the Holocaust must have a permanent place in our nationâ€™s and

communityâ€™s collective memory. We honour the survivors still with us, and reaffirm

our shared goals of mutual understanding and justice.

â€¢ We must make sure that future generations understand the causes of the Holocaust

and reflect upon its consequences. We vow to remember the victims of Nazi

persecution and of all genocides.

â€¢ We value the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives to protect or rescue

victims, as a touchstone of the human capacity for good in the face of evil.

â€¢ We recognise that humanity is still scarred by the belief that race, religion,

disability or sexuality make some peopleâ€™s lives worth less than othersâ€™. Genocide,

antisemitism, racism, xenophobia and discrimination still continue. We have a

shared responsibility to fight these evils.

â€¢ We pledge to strengthen our efforts to promote education and research about the

Holocaust and other genocides. We will do our utmost to make sure that the lessons

of such events are fully learnt.

â€¢ We will continue to encourage Holocaust remembrance by organising an activity

to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. We condemn the evils of prejudice,

discrimination and racism. We value a free, respectful, and democratic society.
