President Begaj’s Message on International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, President Bajram Begaj conveyed a message on the importance of historical memory to learn from the past so that the evils caused by ideology, politics, and human hatred toward faith or ethnicity are never repeated.

“The monstrous crimes of genocide, the Holocaust against the Jews, and the extermination of millions due to cruelty and diabolical hatred based on faith or ethnicity are the darkest aspects that forever weigh on human conscience.

We remember these horrific crimes so that they remain in our memory and in the memory of the entire world as a testament to the depths to which political degradation and blindness to totalitarian ideologies can sink,” wrote the President in his message.

The Head of State also highlighted the assistance Albanians provided to Jews and their stand on the right side of history.

The full message of the President on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, published on his official Facebook profile:

“The monstrous crimes of genocide, the Holocaust against the Jews, the extermination of millions due to cruelty and diabolical hatred based on faith or ethnicity are the darkest aspects that forever weigh on human conscience.

We remember these horrific crimes so that they remain in our memory and in the memory of the entire world as a testament to the depths to which political degradation and blindness to totalitarian ideologies can sink. Our people demonstrated during the war that their spirit remained pure, protecting dozens of Jews from persecution or annihilation, becoming a marvelous example throughout our history.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pray for the millions of Holocaust victims and pray that such horrors never occur again.”
