SREBRENICA, January 27 (FENA) - The International Holocaust Remembrance Day was symbolically marked at the Srebrenica Memorial Center today. Srebrenica genocide victims and members of the Memorial Center team lit six candles in memory of six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.
On that occasion, Memorial Center announced the creation of a Calendar of Remembrance, which will include all important dates - both those related to genocide and crimes against humanity in the 1992-1995 war, as well as important international dates commemorating the Holocaust and other mass sufferings, that are the result of crimes around the world, the Srebrenica Memorial Center said.
“On this day, we remember the victims of the Holocaust and once again warn of the danger of policies of hatred, discrimination and dehumanization that still operate around the world today. The Holocaust did not happen all at once, but developed from years of policies to exclude Jews and other communities from the Nazi regime. Today, we see cases of anti-Semitism everywhere, which are deeply rooted in the ideology of white supremacists around the world. Let us not allow the spark of violence and hatred to awaken, and let us cross the borders of racial, ethnic and religious divisions in joint action so that the phrase "never again" spoken so many times is more than just empty words,” said Director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center Emir Suljagić.
Suljiagić emphasized that the Srebrenica Memorial Center has undertaken activities aimed at establishing permanent cooperation with several memorials dedicated to preserving memories and researching the Holocaust.
It is the result of the "Truth, Dialogue, Future" project implemented by the Memorial Center with the support of the Government of the United Kingdom and the British Embassy in Sarajevo. The goal of these activities is the transfer of knowledge and research methodologies for serious violations of international criminal law, but also a more significant connection between victims, their families, researchers and the academic community.
