The President of the Assembly of the Republic this Friday marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day and said that what is needed now is intransigence and constant determination in the fight against all forms of denial of human dignity.
This position was conveyed by Augusto Santos Silva in a video message in which he recalls that on January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Later, the President of the Assembly of the Republic notes that every year on January 27, the day of the end of World War II is remembered, marking the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.
“We cannot forget the Holocaust. That is, we cannot forget this barbaric crime committed by the Nazis, who sought to exterminate the Jews – and destroyed six million Jews. And besides them, they sought to eliminate political opponents, homosexuals and representatives of gypsy minorities. “, indicated.
To remember this, in the words of the former foreign minister, “is not to forget this crime.”
“Remember not to let this happen again. It means to be irreconcilable, resolute, constant in the fight against all forms that deprive someone of human dignity,” he stressed.
Augusto Santos Silva later considered important “the fight against, in particular, Nazism, anti-Semitism and forms of prejudice and incitement to hatred against minorities, whatever they may be.”
“Dignity is what we have most in common, it is what makes us part of one humanity. And this is what we must remember today and the obligations that this places on all of us,” he added.
