The President honored the memory of the Holocaust victims.

The head of the Ukrainian state wrote about this in a Telegram, as reported by Ukrinform.

“On January 27, the world honors the memory of the Holocaust victims. This was a deliberate attempt by the Nazis to erase an entire nation – to kill all its people and destroy everything that reminded them of the Jews. Six million victims. The crime of the Holocaust must never be repeated. Unfortunately, the memory of the Holocaust is gradually fading. And the evil that seeks to obliterate the lives of entire nations still exists in the world,” the post states.

On the eve of this day, the President of Ukraine, together with rabbis, members of the diplomatic corps, and government representatives, paid tribute to the memory of the men, women, adults, and children – millions of people who were killed during the Holocaust.

“We all must fight for life and remember that indifference is fertilizer for evil. We must overcome the hatred that breeds torment and murder. We must not allow forgetfulness. And it is the mission of each of us to do everything possible to ensure that evil does not prevail,” said the head of state.

As reported by Ukrinform, on Monday, January 27, Ukrainians and the international community honor the memory of the Holocaust victims. The International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, observed annually on January 27, was established by a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly on November 1, 2005 (Resolution No. 60/7).
