In a recent Facebook post, Tristan Azbej, State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians and head of the Hungary Helps Program, shared a timeless message: “Whoever saves one life saves the whole world.” Today, as we observe the Memorial Day of the Victims of the Holocaust in Hungary, we bow our heads in remembrance of all those who lost their lives innocently during times of unspeakable emergency.
Tristan Azbej’s poignant words remind us that remembering is not only a tribute to the fallen but also a crucial warning against the dangers of hatred, exclusion, and indifference. The memories of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews—dragged away and annihilated during the Holocaust—continue to inspire us to stand vigilant. Their stories and legacies are an enduring testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
In Hungary today, there is no room for negotiation against antisemitism. Our nation stands firm as one of the safest countries in Europe for Jewish communities. It is our collective duty to remember, teach, and preserve human dignity in every circumstance. This Memorial Day is a solemn call to maintain a society rooted in tolerance and respect, ensuring that such dark chapters in history are never repeated.
Let us honor these lives by reflecting on their memories, fostering education about the past, and actively safeguarding the rights and dignity of every individual. As we commemorate this important day, may the legacy of the victims serve as a beacon of hope and a reminder of our shared responsibility to combat hate in all its forms.
