Never
Six million Jews died in camps like Auschwitz. Millions of others also died.
It's said. We must not allow anyone to unsay it.
But saying it is not enough. We have to feel it. Not just when we remember Auschwitz but whenever we are tempted to think that it is all right to hurt our fellow humans because they are "not like us".
They are exactly like us. We're in this together.
The survivors are fewer now as the years pass, and soon enough there will be no one that can give living testimony.
But we are their daughters and sons, and the daughters and sons of those who harmed them, and our daughters and sons and theirs will still be saying that six million Jews died in camps like Auschwitz, and millions of others with them, and they too will not allow it to be unsaid while any one of us can still love another.
