Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

Harvey Belovski, rabbi at Golders Green United Synagogue:

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, an opportunity to remember the millions of victims of Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides. It’s to the great credit of the British people that a day is reserved each year to commemorate the most despicable atrocities; to learn about hatred and how it spreads. 

This year – 2020 – holds special significance, as it’s th e 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and other death camps in Nazi-occupied Europe and 25 years since the Bosnian genocide.  Later this year, I will be attending a major event at Bergen-Belsen to mark this anniversary.

In a fractured world in which anti-Semitism and other hatreds are rising, I believe we cannot overemphasise the importance of Holocaust education. I was deeply troubled by a recent poll which found that one in three people knew almost nothing about the Holocaust and one in 20 had never heard of it. Shockingly, the survey also revealed that 5% of British adults do not believe that the Holocaust actually happened.

I am proud that my children have the chance to learn about the Holocaust first-hand. My older children have all visited concentration camps in Poland, and my third daughter is now involved in leading similar trips.

I forget when I first heard about the Holocaust: probably in history lessons at school. But I know from my own trips to these abysmal places that the industrial-scale, mechanised murder of millions cannot really be described. I’ve visited the Belzec (Buwzhets) extermination camp in Poland twice. The statistics are mind-boggling: 600,000 Jews were murdered there in under 10 months and the average time from arrival to murder was less that one hour. It’s the most appalling place I’ve ever been to.

My mentor and teacher, former chief rabbi Lord Sacks often says, ‘The hate that begins with the Jews never ends with the Jews’. The descent into an intolerant, cruel, jungle society can be rapid, with visible minorities such as Jews and Muslims merely at the front of the queue to suffer discrimination and hatred. Others will always follow.

Holocaust Memorial Day is an invaluable opportunity to focus on the evils of the past. But it’s really about hope – hope that learning about what people can and have done to each other will strengthen our resolve to create a happier, more harmonious world for us all.
