This week, a special day known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day has been designated to pay tribute to the memory of millions of Jews brutally murdered by the Nazis who willingly carried out Hitler's depraved plan to implement the "final solution" of the Jewish people .

While recognizing that such official observance is meant to educate the public about the Shoah, the unspeakable atrocity perpetrated upon East European Jewry only because they were Jews, to my mind there is one way toremember our
6,000,000 Kedoshim (Martyrs) -and that is by having a strong and secure State of Israel
This gives true meaning to the words "Never Again"!
Therefore, forgive me if I am not impressed that the head of the United Nation dons a 'kippah" before presenting his talk at a Synagogue in New York, when two days prior to his lecture, he roundly condemned Israel for building "settlements"
Similarly, I do not "shep nachas" (feel joy) when visiting dignitaries from foreign nations are brought to the Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, and utilize this sacred site to compare Israel's treatment of the "palestinians" to Nazi Germany!

I have also long maintained that the yearly "March of the Living" should be abandoned as it succeeds in bolstering the coffers of many anti-Semites in Poland who believe the Holocaust was justified.
If, indeed, International Remembrance Day is geared to truly penetrate the collective psyche of the world, then the survival of Israel' the Jewish homeland, which with G-d's help was reborn after Auschwitz,. should be of paramount concern to the nations
that instead consistently demonize Israel for for defending itself against its implaccable Arab enemies.

And--of utmost importance to memorialize the Holocaust, is for world Jewry to present a united front in support of the Jewish State!
It is incomprehensible and unconscionable that after one third of the Jewish people was decimated by Hitler's murderous beasts,..., today there are innumerable Jewish leftists that defend the Arab enemies who have instigated countless wars of agression as well as 'peace' time terror, and who openly call for the elimination of the Jewish State.!
Can the world remember the Holocaust if our own people contains renegade Jews who have seemingly forgotten the Crusades, pogroms, Inquisitions, and the horrendous Shoah?
In the final analysis, it is incumbent upon every Jew to truly comprehend the miracle of Israel's rebirth after two millenia of gentile persecution..
As anti-Semitism once again raises its ugly head , Diaspora Jewry would be wise to pick up, pack up and come home to build and settle everywhere in Eretz Yisrael.
