A 2014 survey revealed that nearly 50% of Holocaust survivors living in Israel fear the Holocaust will be forgotten when all survivors are gone.
We remember. We honor those who suffered so traumatically under the evil of the Holocaust. We remember the survivors whose nightmare followed them through the decades, tainting their freedom. We honor the Holocaust victims with our deepest respect and the survivors still among us with our compassionate prayers.
We remember… to ensure it never happens again.
Here are five ways you can remember and honor the many millions who suffered at the hands of a viral hatred that culminated in the Holocaust.
1. Pray
-
For Holocaust survivors – to come to know Yeshua as their Jewish Messiah, for God to comfort them in the face of their tragic memories, and for those Holocaust survivors currently suffering in poverty
-
That the world never forgets that such evil is possible
-
That complacency or naiveté toward anti-Semitism would cease
-
That such a thing never occurs again
-
For Holocaust deniers to see the truth of history
-
For God’s protection on His chosen people
-
