Across an ocean, beneath the burning sun and silent moon, fear and violence rule the land.
Over the last half a century, our hearts have screamed, "Never again!" -each day a remembrance. Have we forgotten?
Across an ocean, the land of darkness and mystery has become the land of darkness and misery.
As a nation, we have always known every life is truly a world. Have we forgotten?
Across an ocean, a foreign people in a foreign country are suffering. Are dying. Are starving. Are running. Are hiding. Are crying.
We are Jews, a light unto the nations. We are to set the tone for society's morality. Have we forgotten?
I know we haven't.
Over 400,000 murdered in a terrible geocide, over 2.5 million displaced. We cannot afford to be ignorant. We cannot afford to forget.
