During his general audience on Wednesday, the pope said: “Today is the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp and we celebrate Remembrance Day. Let us remember the victims of the Shoah and all the people who were persecuted and deported by the Nazi regime.”
“Remembering is an expression of humanity, remembering is a sign of civility, remembering is a condition for a better future of peace and fraternity, remembering is also taking care so that these things do not happen again, starting with the ideological proposals that want to save a people and ends with the destruction of the people and humanity. Pay attention to how this path to death, extermination and brutality began”, the pope added on the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.
