Embracing Responsibility: Holocaust Memorial Day and Human Rights Awareness

This week, we reflect on the importance of human rights and our responsibilities within society, especially as we approach Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27. This date commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945, a stark reminder of the consequences of inhumanity. The words of Pavel Friedmann, a young Jewish poet, serve as a poignant reminder of the suffering endured during this dark period, urging us to recognize our duty to be the change we wish to see in the world.

  4. Reflection The Butterfly He was the last. Truly the last.Such yellowness was bitter and blindingLike the sun’s tear shattered on stone.That was his true colour.And how easily he climbed, and how high,Certainly, climbing, he wantedTo kiss the last of my world. I have been here seven weeks,‘Ghettoized’.Who loved me have found me,Daisies call to me,And the branches also of the white chestnut in the yard.But I haven’t seen a butterfly here.That last one was the last one.There are no butterflies, here, in the ghetto. Poem by Pavel Friedmann, a young Jewish man who spent time in both the Theresienstadt Ghetto and Auschwitz.
