The victims of the holocaust must be remembered by all of us and should be a constant reminder of the dangers of narrow nationalism and the excesses of collective selfpride. There was a feeling in the 1930s and 1940s that our Jewish brothers and sisters were somehow strangers and that what happened to them was not terribly important. Such a feeling allowed most of the world to remain silent and in our country led to the rejection of Jewish refugees from Hitlers terror. Similar instances of indifference and callousness toward human life and human rights plague humanity today and while it is good that we remember. it is imperative that we honor the victims of the holocaust by rededicating ourselves to the politics of reconciliation. nonviolence. and bringing good news to the suffering poor and oppressed here at home and abroad.*
