We cannot allow history to repeat itself – verbally and physically – on our streets, in our neighborhoods, and in our cities.We have learned and witnessed with our own eyes the brutal and inhumane consequences of unchecked antisemitism and unbridled universal hatred.Many of us, alumni and friends of the International March of the Living, of many faiths and backgrounds, have personally marched on the blood-stained grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau and heard first-hand testimony from survivors of these atrocities.We have all painfully learned how “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.”Hatred, Racism, Bigotry or Intolerances of any form have no place in our world.We invite all who believe in our message to join us by signing our petition ensuring a better future for all.#NeverMeansNever #SpeakUpAgainstHate Join us in declaring that antisemitism has no place in any society.
