Christian Friends

Dear Friend,

"God did not create Auschwitz neither did the Satan; we created
Auschwitz, human beings."  Yehiel De-Nur, a Jewish writer and
Holocaust survivor

The Holocaust – the murder of six million Jews in Europe during
World War II – was not a force majeure; it happened in a modern,
civilized society, where people actively decided to commit such
atrocities.

"...Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days
of your ancestors? Tell it to your children, and let your children tell
it to their children, and their children to the next generation."
(Joel 1: 2-3)

It is our obligation as religious believers to learn from the past
and educate future generations to know the facts, remember
the past and educate for a better future. We must empower the
younger Christian generations with accurate, reliable historical
information, and teach them to follow the example of the
Righteous Among the Nations who took it upon themselves not
to be bystanders, but to actively choose good rather than evil.
As the generation of Holocaust survivors is dwindling, it is now
the time for people of all faiths to join forces to carry on the
torch of remembrance, and to build bridges of understanding,
cooperation and friendship between the Christian world and the
Jewish world.
I call on you to join the Christian Friends of Yad Vashem (CFYV)
and support our various projects to ensure a better future.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

With blessings from Jerusalem,

Ms. Sari Granitza,

Director, Christian Friends of Yad Vashem
