We remain heartbroken over the gruesome massacre that has taken place in Israel. These horrific events are deliberate acts of pure hate. The attacks not only inflict enormous pain and suffering but arouse echoes of the past. As an organization whose mission is committed to Holocaust education, we recognize this as the most heinous assault against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Knowledge and learning are key to understanding history.

These horrific events are deliberate acts of pure hate by a terrorist organization whose genocidal covenant has stated: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it…” and “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them.”  The attacks and their intent not only inflict enormous pain and suffering but arouse echoes of the past.

Now more than ever we all must appreciate how important education is. Please stay vigilant and speak out against hatred, prejudice, and apathy.
