As the Presidents Commission on the Holocaust writes. "Memory can avert future errors." As Americans. and peaceloving people. the memory of the holocaust points out to us the necessity of preserving our democratic values. It allows us to strengthen our belief in the inalienability of human rights and to appreciate the pluralism and ethnic diversity of our own system. Our own failures during the tragedy. particularly turning our backs during the war on millions of Jewish refugees. have obliged us to reflect inwardly and to reaffirm our commitment to helping others. Today. as we honor the 6 million innocent victims of the holocaust. we pledge that such atrocities will never again occur. To adhere to that commitment. we must keep to memory of the holocaust alive.
