Observing Holocaust Remembrance Day: Reflecting on History’s Lessons

As we mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, the significance of this solemn occasion resonates deeply within the global Jewish community.
This year, our reflections carry added weight in the wake of the tragic events of October 7.
The atrocities perpetrated on that day serve as a stark reminder of the enduring presence of hatred and the consequences of forgetting the lessons of the past.
Today, as we honor the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, we are compelled to reflect on the devastation wrought by unchecked antisemitism.
The theme of this year’s Remembrance Day, “A Lost World: The Destruction of the Jewish Communities,” underscores the profound impact of these dark chapters in history.
In partnership with communities around the world, the Chief Rabbinate of Cyprus invites you to join us in solemn observance.
Let us come together to pay tribute to those who perished, to educate future generations, and to ensure that the stories of the Holocaust endure as a beacon of hope and resilience.
Through remembrance and reflection, may we honor the memory of the victims and reaffirm our commitment to combating antisemitism in all its forms.
