YOU WHO READ THESE WORDS, REMEMBER. 

REMEMBER THAT IN THE YEARS OF DARKNESS FROM
1933 TO 1945, IN GERMAN-OCCUPIED EUROPE
SIX MILLION MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WERE
MURDERED WITH UNPRECEDENTED BRUTALITY ONLY
BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWISH. 

REMEMBER THAT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF
JEWISH COMMUNITIES WERE UPROOTED. SCHOOLS
AND SYNAGOGUES DESTROYED AND THE HOPES OF
AN ENTIRE GENERATION REDUCED TO ASHES.

REMEMBER THAT ALL THIS HAPPENED AT THE TIME
WHEN EVIL WAS TRIUMPHANT BECAUSE THE WORLD
REMAINED SILENT.
