Celebrities Support Gedenk Because:“First let me say that I lived in Germany for a number of years and wasable to visit the concentration camps just outside of Munich. It issuch a heart breaking, soul shaking, and life changing experience. Itshows what happens when the evil, dark, negative side of humanity isallowed to prevail. Every child in the world should be taught aboutgenocide and the Holocaust. It leaves an indelible photographic picturein your mind of what mankind should seek to avoid at all costs.. MiriBen-Ari is an amazing gift. She is wonder in human form. Her ability toconform the violin to her being causes the heart to cry and the soul toweep. This same passion forces to reach out for her people to allhumanity.” “It is critically important that we learn from the mistakes of ourpast. We have a responsibility as a world community to fight againsthate and genocide and to acknowledge the history of such inexcusabletragedies as the Holocaust.” “The past gives great examples of what can happen in the future. It's always important to remember.” “It's very important for everyone to learn about the atrocity that isthe Holocaust; if we do not learn from terrible mistakes, we aredestined to repeat them.” “I am proud to recognize an organization that dares to usenon-traditional methods to teach youth the importance of rememberingour past. In a world as tumultuous and uncertain as our own, thislesson is possibly the most crucial of all; if we do not learn from thepast, we are doomed to repeat its mistakes.” “It is imperative that we all remember what happened during theHolocaust, recognize the factors that created this unimaginable eventand do everything in our power to make sure that it will never happenagain.” “The only way to avoid such atrocities is to teach people about whatactually happened. We have to be ever vigilant that this crime againsthumanity is NEVER perpetrated again - against anyone. Against anypeople. As human beings we must stand together on this if on nothingelse.” “It's important to learn as much as you can about history; it's good toknow the mistakes that were made so we don't make them in the future.” The Holocaust needs to be an example for all races as to what canhappen when fear and predjudice are used as weapons to control people.If not remembered the holocaust could become a myth instead of fact andwhy should history be responsible for lies instead of truth.” “If you don't know your past, things will tend to repeat themselvesbefore your very eyes. We cannot afford the inhuman that happened inthe past to ever rear its ugly head again. It's important for allpeople and especially young people to thoroughly learn about tragediessuch as SLAVERY, the Native American genocide and other atrocities aswell as the HOLOCAUST to make the future for human beings positive andpossible. There are many dos and don'ts in our present and future,formed from the knowledge of the past. This knowledge sets us trulyfree.” “People need to learn about the Holocaust to honor the memories ofthose who perished and to prevent atrocities like this from happeningagain in the future.” “Young people should learn about The Holocaust so that they can seewhat happens when hate, prejudice, bias, and bigotry are allowed tocreate ignorance, and they can learn to respect all races and cultures.” “I encourage young people to become knowledgeable about historicalatrocities such as the Holocaust, so we may join forces to help preventthis madness from ever happening again.” “Not only as a reminder to honor every innocent soul that was murdered,but to teach young people the perils of hatred and ignorance.” “It is important for young people to learn about the Holocaust becauseit is one of the darkest periods in world history, one that witnessedthe murder and loss of masses of people. But, just as importantly, theHolocaust is the story of the resiliency of a people in the face ofprofound hatred and violence: The ways they survived, maintained, and,in some cases, were freed or freed themselves, against all odds.” “Gedenk's work is important and must be supported, we must remember theholocaust because we all exist in a continuum and the seeds that wereplanted then are still being planted now. If we remember the result wemay see through the ever-present darkness and deny those newly plantedseeds, which are all around us, their proper nourishment and thus avoidthe horrible unforgettable eternal spring of human failure.” “I think it's important for young people to learn all history - theHolocaust, slavery, the trail of tears, The Japanese encampment, etc.Remember, if we don't know our past, we are destined to repeat it -thus - we should "never forget!" “By remembering history, we inherit the power of the truth. We alsocontinue to set purpose to the constant evolution humanity needs toendure to succeed it's tragic past.” “The fact that the Holocaust happened in a Western European country inthe middle of the 20th century is a great lesson for us all. If thehuman race is going to elevate itself spiritually, then we have tounderstand that civilization is not a given, but an ideal we all haveto strive to protect.” “I think that learning about the Holocaust is important, because eventhough racism is an act of discrimination it is indiscriminate on whomit affects. We as people are all connected, and thus affected” “Through educating ourselves about such injustice that was done, thenand only then can we begin to close the gap of prejudice and start anew dialogue to move forward in the name of equality.” “We have to remember history and its tragedies so we don't repeat them.This is a part of "Tikun Olam" ( to make the world a better place). Iwish Miri Ben-Ari and Gedenk many followers.” |
