We at the Holocaust Remembrance Association are heartbroken and outraged by the brutal murder of Kfir Bibas, only 9 months old, and his 4-year-old brother Ariel, whose bodies were returned in coffins after being taken hostage by Hamas. The deliberate targeting of innocent children is an atrocity that defies all morality, echoing some of the darkest moments in history.
As an organization dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and education, we mourn these young lives and stand in unwavering solidarity with their grieving family. The lessons of the past compel us to speak out against acts of terror and to uphold the values of life, peace, and justice for all people.
We urge the international community to unequivocally condemn the killing of innocent civilians and to take meaningful action to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
May the memory of Kfir and Ariel be a reminder of the sanctity of life and our shared responsibility to stand against hatred in all its forms.
