The Holocaust did not define what it is to be a Jew. It defined what it is to be human.

This is a re-post from Rabbi Sacks

Today is International Holocaust Memorial Day. The Holocaust did not define what it is to be a Jew. The Holocaust defined what it is to be human. Any assault on Jews becomes, very rapidly, an assault on our shared humanity. That is why we must continue to remember, not for the sake of the past, but for the sake of the future.
